Lyon’s contemporary art museum is entirely devoted to temporary exhibitions so there's always something new to discover.

Lyon’s contemporary art museum is directly opposite one of the entrances to the Parc de la Tête d’Or, so enjoy a nice scenic stroll on your way to it.

The museum is entirely devoted to temporary exhibitions, so do check what’s on there before going. The building’s flexible space adapts to each exhibition they have, which is why the museum is often closed for up to six weeks at a time. Previous exhibitions include work from artists such as Andy Warhol, Trisha Brown, Keith Haring and Yoko Ono.

The museum is renowned for the Biennale d’art contemporain de Lyon - a contemporary art and dance festival, held every two years, with exhibitions shared between the Musee d’art contemporain and La Sucrière.
