Musee des Confluences, Lyon

Worth visiting. The permanent exhibition is about natural history. Very popular with parents with children. Expect queues during holidays. Outside, next to the brasserie, there’s a shallow pool of water where people dip their feet during summer. During summer the billetterie may move upstairs to near the galleries because it’s air-conditioned. When I visited there was I intense summer heat from climate change, and the building is like a greenhouse trapping heat.

Beautiful building, a wide variety of exhibits. We only had 2 hours and did not see everything. Students were 5 euro, adults 9 euro in 2022 so a great price. At the top there is a small food area and look out point to see the rivers. Mass transit made it easy to reach on metro and tram.
