Vernaison

Located south of Lyon, the spectacular structure of the Musée des Confluences is not only the merging point of the Rhône and Saône, but also of art and science. 

Inside, you can immerse your curiosity in the mysteries of human culture and natural science, with exhibitions that encourage dialogue between the disciplines of palaeontology, mineralogy, zoology, ethnography, archaeology, and science and technology. 

Egyptian mummies, a 155 million year old dinosaur skeleton, fossils, and a replica of Sputnik 2 are just some of the wonders you can expect to see inside.

While the interior holds an incredible collection, the building is also a feat of art unto itself. Designed by the firm Coop Himmelb(l)au, the Musée des Confluences’ architecture suggests a place of discovery, wonder, and knowledge sharing dedicated to all audiences.

Visitors can wander through a unique museum that facilitates dialogue between scientific disciplines to provide a more complete view of the world.

The Aquarium of Lyon is home to tropical species, four kinds of sharks, and fish from the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Keep an eye out for the colorful yellow-masked angelfish, the polka-dotted panther grouper, and prickly porcupinefish. 

The shark pit is the highlight of any visit. You'll have the chance to see Australian baby sharks along with several other shark species. Plus, all the usual aquarium suspects are there too like clownfish, seahorses, and jellyfish.
