I guarantee that you will learn something new visiting this unique museum. I know I did! The signage is in both French and English, which is not the case with most museums in the city. The special exhibit was not in English, but they did have a guide for non-French speaking visitors. The museum is three floors with a lot to see. It is by text and graphic heavy and there is a lot of reading about the displays. The explanation of the different printing presses was really helpful. I would recommend this museum for mature, early teens and up. It would be easy to spend between one and two hours at this museum, taking in both the permanent collection and the temporary exhibit. There’s a small gift shop with a few postcards and some interesting books and...

Il Museo della Stampa e della Comunicazione Grafica di Lione, situato nel centro della città vicino a Place des Terreaux, è un’istituzione unica che celebra la storia dell’arte tipografica e della comunicazione visiva. Lione, nel XVI secolo, era uno dei principali centri di produzione tipografica in Europa, e questo museo rende omaggio a quel periodo di grande innovazione culturale e tecnologica.

Il museo si trova in un edificio storico, l'antica residenza di stampatori rinascimentali, che da solo rappresenta un importante esempio di architettura lionese. Al suo interno, le esposizioni raccontano l'evoluzione delle tecniche di stampa, dalle prime macchine a caratteri mobili di Gutenberg fino alle tecnologie contemporanee di stampa digitale. Si possono osservare macchine da stampa storiche, caratteri mobili, matrici e altri strumenti utilizzati nel corso dei secoli.

Una parte significativa della collezione è dedicata ai libri stampati a Lione durante il Rinascimento, con esempi di volumi scientifici, religiosi e letterari che illustrano il ruolo della città come crocevia culturale e commerciale. Accanto ai libri, si trovano manifesti, riviste, litografie e altri materiali che documentano l'evoluzione della comunicazione grafica nel tempo.

Il museo è anche un luogo di interazione e scoperta: laboratori ed eventi consentono ai visitatori di sperimentare direttamente alcune tecniche di stampa tradizionali. Questa dimensione pratica aggiunge un ulteriore livello di coinvolgimento, permettendo di comprendere meglio la complessità e l’arte che si celano dietro ogni processo di stampa.

Oltre alla sua funzione espositiva, il museo promuove la riflessione sull’evoluzione della comunicazione visiva, esplorando il passaggio dalla stampa tradizionale ai media digitali. Le mostre temporanee approfondiscono temi specifici legati al design grafico, alla pubblicità e alla tipografia contemporanea.

Il Museo della Stampa e della Comunicazione Grafica è una tappa interessante per chi vuole scoprire un aspetto meno conosciuto del patrimonio culturale di Lione e per chi è affascinato dall’evoluzione del linguaggio visivo...

If you are in Lyon and remotely interested in printing than this is a must during your visit to Lyon. It has a prity complete overview of the evolution of the technology starting with wooden plates and ending with modern desktop publishing. What is amazing is that they really have a working Lynotype... A machien that casts (in lead) lines of text you type on a keyboard and mounts them on a plate ready for printing. Many things illustrated with a movie in French and English. Still this is not located in the best building and because of that the optimal way to walk through the museum is difficult. Ask the guides to point you in the right direction if...

A wonderful place to visit for graphic design and print technique lovers, set in a traditional Lyonnais architecture building, in the citu centre. Remarkably for a museum of a smaller size, most of the explanations are in both French and English. For me, the highlights were the exhibits on printing and inline typesetting techniques and machines. When I visited, harp lessons were on progress, which added to the atmosphere. Great bookshop covering printing as well, but mainly in French.

Amazing museum and the highlight of my trip to Lyon - you need at least 3 hours to visit properly and it’s a bargain at only 8 euros - I visited on a Saturday but it was very quiet. Suitable for anyone over the age of 14 I would say. The collections have signs translated into English but the exhibition is only displayed en Francais- highly recommended
