Musée des Confluences

Opened in December 2014 at the tip of the Presqu'île where the Rhône and Saône meet, the Musée des Confluences is a science and anthropology museum in a deconstructivist building by Coop Himmelb(l)au. Its collections, inherited from Lyon's former natural history and Guimet museums, span natural science, anthropology and human societies.
