A mini Louvre in my opinion. Some stunning collections that are beautifully showcased across the ages & cultures. No crowds as in Le Louvre & some absolute gems to be found in painting, glass, ceramics, ancient cultures & more recent eras such as belle epoque & art nouveau. Well worth a visit. Only downside is photography is not allowed.

Surely this is one of the finest art museums in France. The time span covered across multiple galleries and floors takes us from early Greek and Roman sculptures all the way up to modern art. The collection is exquisite in both its breath and depth. I’ve included some of my favorites here. Prepare to spend a good part of the day here. The café terrace is a welcome refuge. The gift shop has some thing for everyone. I bought many postcards – – their collection is pretty great! Oh, and if the lady at the ticket counter yells at you in angry French when you don’t understand her, please don’t take it personally. She did that to me, too!

The building itself is beautiful. There is a lovely courtyard which is very pleasant on a hot day. The rooms have interesting features - there is a fancy ceiling in the coins amd medals room. The art spans many topics, genres and styles. There are some good art nouveau pieces.

The Beau Arts Museum in Lyon impresses with its extensive collection of fine art spanning various periods and styles. Centrally located in the town, the museum features notable pieces including works by Rubens, Rembrandt, and Poussin. Interestingly, the museum is often referred to as the "Little Louvre" due to its diverse collection. Housed in a former Benedictine convent, the setting adds to its unique charm, making it a great option for art enthusiasts. It's a plus that admission is also included in the city day pass, and one of the compelling options in Lyon between the Museum of Confluences. If you keep strategically within a 24hour window, you can even go for both on a one day pass.
