We made the journey to the Musee Lumiere as an excuse to go further afield during our third visit to Lyon. So glad we did! It's an easy trip on the metro, and the exit lets you out right across the street.
If you saw the movie "Paris Can Wait", the Lumiere is where Jacques took Diane and let her wander around the exhibit while he "met" with his friend who worked there. ;^)
Set in the Lumiere famiy home, you wander freely from one room to the next, seeing the history of cinema, film-making, the advancements in photography which they started, as well as their contributions to medicine and the injured during WWII.
Truly amazing and inspiring. A lovely afternoon, and walking back to the metro we stopped to watch a game of boules being played in the park across the street.
