The Musée des Confluences is Lyon's most architecturally striking museum, its deconstructivist glass-and-steel building rising at the meeting point of the Rhône and Saône rivers. Inside, permanent galleries explore natural history, human origins, and world cultures, alongside a changing program of temporary exhibitions — and it's one of the most valuable inclusions on the Lyon City Card.
