What awaits you

Architecture with an Italian touch Resting against the Fourvière hill, the Gadagne Museum forms a vast and complex architectural ensemble. Entering it from the "Little College" square, you will be impressed by the large and beautiful courtyard and galleries erected above it, allowing you to move from one half of the house to another. I will tell you by whom and when this amazing building was built and how one of the richest family of bankers from Florence has to do with it

All facets of Lyon's history The collection of the Museum of History includes 80 thousand exhibits reflecting the main areas of the city's evolution: politics and social life, economy and culture, intellectual and spiritual spheres. You will learn about the times when Lyon was the capital of Gaul and the center of the uprising of workers and weavers. In addition, I will tell you how it relates to cinema, contemporary art, silk, automobiles and pharmaceuticals

Lyon and the puppets In the middle of the 20th century, a second museum opened at the Hotel Gadagne, originally dedicated to one puppet character created in Lyon - Guignol. Today the Puppet Museum occupies 9 exhibition halls. You will reveal the history of the development of puppets in France and see the first puppets of Laurent Mourguet, with which he showed his performances.
