This museum is showing a collection about the prehistoric and gallo-roman history of Lyon. It is a great collection, I am surprised by how lively most of the artifacts are, some sculptures are full of life. Also the technological prowess of the Romans is illustrated by several items : - a water pump, - the remnants of a ship, - the system to raise the scene curtain in front of the theater with counterweights. There are also beautiful human objects including dishes, jewelry, weapons, ...

This museum is outstanding. We were astonished by how good it was. It’s five or so floors full of Roman treasures most of which are very well arranged and presented. The mosaics are easily the best we’ve ever seen anywhere. Some of them are huge and look like they were laid yesterday. The audio guide is very good and well worth having. If you have any sort of passion for Roman history and antiquities, this museum is absolutely not to be missed. Allow at least an hour and a half as there is lots to see and take in including the ruins of the ancient amphitheater. Tip: if you walk up the hill to this facility you may get a little Lost bear Notre Dame as we did as they seem to be missing a sign there. We got directions from a lovely local who just said keep going in between the two yellow buildings. She was right! We walked between the buildings and on a little way and there it was!
Lugdunum is a very spectacular Museum. The architecture is amazing. The exhibition is great. It deals with the Gallo-Roman era of the city of Lyon. The museum itself provides an overview of the Roman city, its houses, architecture and history. You can walk down from the 4th floor to the 1st floor and the exit. Large windows open the view of the amphitheater, which is still used today. Grand architecture, grand exhibition, grand archeology. Lugdunum is a must for every visit to Lyon.
Excellent Museum. Well organized exhibit of Roman artefacts. 4 euro ticket with audio guide.
Must visit place when in Lyon city. The museum has collection that you will not get to see if you go on your own. Description of each piece of artifact makes it very special experience. Staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to explain when asked.
You need to have a pair of comfortable shoes to walk around this site. The inside of museum is fine, but the roads of amphitheater are sometimes rough. Lovely scenary, worth going there.
This museum was not even on a list of what to see, but our hotel concierge recommended it. I'm very happy we went as it has some excellent artifacts from the Roman times and beautiful history laid out in a gorgeous museum with great and easy flow.
A museum with plenty of interesting items but clearly designed with the idea we had of museums many many years ago. A bit of a collection of items with overly specific context-less descriptions more than a modern museum. Plenty of old signs saying \this will be fixed\ (or updated, or whatever) gives the impression of abandonment. The lady at the ticket office wasn't really welcoming either.
