🎬 Lyon | Musée Cinéma et Miniature
After a friend's glowing recommendation, I visited Lyon’s Cinema and Miniature Museum (Musée Cinéma et Miniature). At €22 💶, the ticket isn’t cheap, but I thought, "When in Lyon!"—and wow, it delivered. 🎥 The Museum Breakdown Zones 1-7: Focused on movie props and special effects 🎭. Not my usual interest, but the craftsmanship (think Star Warshelmets 🪖 and Aliencreatures 👽) was impressive. Highlight: A short film 🎞️ explaining how miniature models were used in classic films (Blade Runner🌆, Indiana Jones🏺)—totally eye-opening! Zones 8-9: STUNNING. Tiny, hyper-detailed dioramas of European streets 🏘️, supermarkets 🛒, bookshops 📚, and bathrooms 🛁—so lifelike, I felt like a giant! Spent ageshere ⏳. ✨ Why It’s Worth It For film buffs 🎬: Behind-the-scenes magic of Hollywood. For miniaturists 🔍: Jaw-dropping craftsmanship (how??). For everyone else 🤩: A quirky, immersive experience. 🤔 My Takeaway After leaving, I noticed Lyon’s street art 🎨 and murals differently. This city celebrates the tiny and the grand—from miniature dioramas to giant graffiti. It’s all about finding beauty in details, and I’m here for it. Verdict: If you love movies 🎥, miniatures 🏡, or just weirdly wonderful things, go! #LyonMuseums #MiniatureArt #FilmMagic #FranceTravel
