| Musée Des Beaux Arts De Lyon
The Musée des Beaux Arts de Lyon has just celebrated the bicentenary of its creation, and is one of the largest French and European museums. Situated in the centre of Lyon, between the Rhone and the Saone, it occupies a magnificent seventeenth century building.
Its collections, spread over 70 rooms, offer visitors an exceptional discovery of art from antiquity to modern times. The collection is regularly enriched thanks to an active policy of acquisition which works notably with donators, be they collectors or artists’ descendants.
The museum is a living and working space. 130 people work here daily to welcome the public to the heart of its collections and exhibitions.

From the land of the pharaohs to ancient Rome, the department of Antiquity presents more than 3 000 years of Mediterranean history. Egyptian civilisations, Near and Far East, ancient Greece and Italy are presented in its rooms.
The department of Objects of Art presents some true wonders, from the middle ages to the twentieth century: Byzantin ivories, painted enamel from Limoges, Renaissance porcelain, Islamic art, Oriental ceramics and the Hector Guimard Art Nouveau chamber.
The coins and medals collection houses treasures discovered in Lyon, at the place des Terreaux and at the théâtre des Jacobins, as well as from the surrounding area. The collection is rich of 50 000 coins, medals, seals and jewels. The collection is the second largest numismatic collection in France, after the Parisian collection held at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France.
A selection of the museum‘s drawings, prints and engravings are regularly on display for temporary exhibitions, but the collection needs to be conserved away from light due to the pieces’ fragile nature. The collection ill...[ Read all ]

Jacques Stella (1596 - 1657)
Until 19 February 2007
First large exhibition dedicated to Jacques Stella, major painter of eighteenth century French Art, and probably one of the most original artists of his time. This exhibition, in the artist’s birth town, retraces Stella’s diversity through 200 paintings, drawings and engravings. Chronicler of daily life, painter of the angels and Madonna, inventor of classic and sacred subjects, illustrator, occasional portraitist and frequent landscapist, Stella commands grace and emotion.
The exhibition was designed by Gilles Chomer (1950-2002), art historian at the Université de Lyon 2 and at the CNRS, who collated the exhibition content with passion. His premature death incited his friends and students to complete the work he had begun.
Les Dessins Orientalistes
Until 2 April 2007, 10am - 1pm and 2pm-6pm (closed on Tuesdays)
A selection of 15 drawings by four nineteenth century French painters from the museum’s Cabinet of Graphic Arts. The most recognised of these, Eugene Delacroix, reveals, through his notebooks from...[ Read all ]
