Unfortunately for the amount of tourists who come through, there is very little in the way of multilingual signage to help navigate you through the maze of rooms. (My husband and I speak English, Spanish and some French.) As a person who walks with a cane and uses the lifts, it was easy to get turned around from the “natural” flow of the museum path. As with so many museums, If you have mobility issues, you will have to do more walking than the average person because this museum is formatted to tell a story. Be sure to look for the information booklets in your language before starting your walk because the displays are in French. They DO have portable seating. So that’s a plus. By the time we found the window that showed us the lowest level and a glimpse into the beautiful historical museum we thought we’d see, we were exhausted and didn’t stay to see it. I wish the viewer would be directed to start the tour there and work your way upward through time. When we attempted to leave the building following the handicapped exit signs, we arrived in a small area marked “Security”, no one was there and the door was locked. After waiting for a few minutes, we decided to exit via the front door down...

Excellent little museum which covers the history of puppets and puppetry, and has changing exhibits in local history. Well laid out with a garden and restaurant/café on the third and fourth floors.

There is a small shop at the entrance, and toilets on the 3rd floor (in the café) and the ground floor by the exit, where the lockers are.

Sadly, the revolving exhibits meant that the main thing I had wanted to see wasn’t on display! That was Jean-Baptiste Willermoz’ Masonic apron. This hero and prolific Masonic writer was a silk merchant in Lyon and one of its more famous - and colorful - citizens. He was a friend of the celebrated French Christian mystic Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin. His brother, Jacques-Pierre, a doctor and alchemist, was executed by guillotine during the Reign of Terror, and Jean-Baptiste escaped a similar fate by one night! During the bombardment of Lyon during the Revolution he made many dangerous trips out of the city by night to save historical documents. So it is a little sad that this illustrious family now finds its artefacts...

Musée adapté aux enfants mais terriblement pauvre pour les adultes. Quant à l'histoire de Lyon, qui l'a écrite? Des salles dédiées à l'écologie, aux minorités militantes du 21e siècle... je passe en me grattant la tête. Curieuse histoire de Lyon. Le musée passe à côté de sujets essentiels comme l'extraordinaire rôle de la ville dans le monde chrétien (et donc 1800 ans de notre histoire). Exemple éloquent : à partir de la période chrétienne, toute la coline de Fourvière fait lobjet d'un "trou noir" sur la carte interractive expliquant les différentes évolution de l'urbanisation du territoire. Elle n'est pourtant pas vide et avec Fourvière au sommet, c'est carrément l'image de Lyon la plus connue des touristes ! On retouve les traces de cette histoire omniprésente dans tous les musées... sauf ici.

On ne parlera pas non plus de l'histoire folle de la basilique de Fourvière, la dévotion populaire des Lyonnais à Marie et l'origine de la fête des lumières passe pour un geste de solidatité civique inventé recemment... Bref. On comprendra pourquoi aucun Lyonnais n'y mets les pieds. Quel dommage. Nul besoin d'en faire trop en la matière mais il faut choisir entre l'histoire de Lyon ou d'autres choses (intéressantes par ailleurs). J'y ai trouvé pour ma part une vitrine navrante de l'apauvrissement culturel et d'une forme d'occultisme si grotesque qu'elle ne peut pas être imputée à de l'ignorance. J'en ai eu honte pour nos visiteurs de passage à Lyon à qui les lyonnais ont coeur de raconter la formidable histoire de Lyon QUE SA COMPLEXITÉ REND PASSIONNANTE et non selon une grille de lecture fade et DANGEREUSE POUR LA PRÉSERVATION DE NOTRE HISTOIRE. Heureusement, ils auront le plaisir de retrouver quelques clichés auxquels je suis -en bon lyonnais- tout de même attaché! Mais honnêtement... tant de médiocrité intellectuelle à côté de l'exposition d'un maillot de foot de l'OL, ça interroge. Ce musée a t il vraiment vocation à être le "Musée de l'histoire de Lyon"?

Merci toutefois pour la qualité des parties "Rhône Saône" et "Soieries" qui m'ont donné à voir l'histoire de ma ville sous un jour différent et un grand bravo pour la mise en valeur de ce magnifique bâtiment.

Une dernière chose, la lame de la guillotine qui a décapité tellement de Lyonnais mériterait une place spéciale. Énormément de familles ici lui doivent la mort de leurs ancêtres et nous mériterions à Lyon qu'elle soit sobrement...

One ticket gives access to the both museums: puppets and of history. Puppets museum has absolutely no information in English and generally almost no explanation to the exhibited item. Only 20% of information provided in the history museum is in English 🤬 No audioguides, no brochures, no online info connected to qr codes - nothing! You just walk around and try to guess what it is and why it's here. For example, on one of my photos you can see a strange wooden square - no freaking idea what it is as there was no description at all. Generally, the history museum is one of the poorest I've even seen. Such a shame - not to collect a normal exhibition of a city with more than 2000 years history!

Extremely thoughtful and relevant. It really did shift my perspective about the city and gave me a lot of insight into the impact industry has had on the workers and local ecosystems while still being engaging and enjoyable. I'll need a second visit for the Marionettes, though. Suggestion for improvement: There wasn't much information given in the ticket office nor was there a map provided. But something that needs real attention is the many unsignaled level changes, ramps, and steps on the floors. I saw another visitor stumble to the point where she almost fell and had been taken by surprise at some of the uneven floors myself.
