The Best Quirky Museum in Lyon! (Not the Art or Science ones)
This gem is easily missed if you are not looking for it
You have probably never heard of it — the Musee Cinema et Miniature — but it is well worth a visit. It’s situated in what is known as the Old Town in Lyon, France, the area with all the historic and medieval buildings, with a tonne of restaurants and tourist shops. Squeezing along the narrow streets along with thousands of tourists is never pleasant, so when I saw the entrance to the Musee at last, I dived inside.
What’s here? For a start, costumes of all kinds from various famous movies, along with “attachments” — meaning various things used in those movies, from fake guns to models to face masks to other kinds of weapons. I have a lot of photos to share, so I will post about the miniatures upstairs separately. Do have a look as they are amazing, and very famous.
