Gadagne, Museum complex in Vieux-Lyon, France
The Gadagne Museums occupy a magnificent Renaissance mansion with a central courtyard, staircases, galleries, and rooftop gardens overlooking Lyon's historic district.
The building was constructed in the 15th century for the Pierrevive family and later acquired by Italian bankers from the Gadagne family who settled in Lyon.
The complex houses both the Museum of Lyon History and the World Puppetry Museum, presenting collections that document the evolution of the city through artifacts.
The museums welcome visitors from Wednesday to Sunday between 10:30 AM and 6:30 PM, with reduced admission prices for students and free entry for children under 18.
The fourth floor features hanging gardens built into the hillside, providing a green space where visitors can rest while viewing the Renaissance architecture.
