Lugdunum Musée et Théâtres, Archaeological museum in 5th arrondissement of Lyon, France.
The museum building integrates into the hillside through concrete structures, containing Roman artifacts discovered throughout the Lyon region.
Established in 1975, the museum preserves the remains of ancient Lugdunum, which served as the capital of Roman Gaul during the first centuries.
The collection presents numerous mosaics, sculptures, and inscriptions that reveal the daily life and social practices of Gallo-Roman civilization.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Friday between 11:00 and 18:00, and during weekends from 10:00 to 18:00 with reduced rates for students.
The underground exhibition path designed by Bernard Zehrfuss in 1975 follows the natural slope of Fourvière hill beneath ancient Roman theaters.
