    An unknown museum that deserves to be known! A passionate and exciting guide. There are exhibitions, so something to do and what's more, it's free!

    Museum visited with a guided tour. The visit lasts 1 hour. Booked online following covid, the guide is very educated, the information given is clear and interesting. You must see it at all costs, the pieces are very beautiful artistically speaking. To do again to visit freely and take the time.

    (Translated by Google) It was a pleasure to finally be able to discover the collection of Lyon after a long period of closure of cultural places. The Lyon collection bears witness to the support given by the University of Lyon to promoting and making known its heritage in this new place. The gypsotheque lives up to its name of scientific laboratory and the students seem very grateful for it. Very nice visit and very warm welcome! (Original) Ce fut un plaisir de pouvoir découvrir enfin la collection de Lyon après un long moment de fermeture des lieux culturels. La collection de Lyon est le témoin du soutien que porte l'Université de Lyon à valoriser et faire connaître son patrimoine dans ce nouveau lieu. La gypsothèque porte bien son nom de laboratoire scientifique et les étudiants semblent en cela très reconnaissants. Très belle visite et très bon accueil !

    Free museum! A large, very bright room made up of 19th and 20th century casts of famous sculptures, bas reliefs and antique sculptures in the round up to the 19th century. I advise you to take the guided tour to appreciate this museum which is part of the Lumière Lyon II University. Visit with my group of young adult Russian and Ukrainian refugees who are rebuilding their lives by practicing wood carving. The welcome is remarkable if you take the time to chat with the guides or archeology students. A museum off the marked trails that is worth discovering. https://www.univ-lyon2.fr/universite/mumo

    It’s free, it’s magnificent, take the guided tour if you can, we learn a lot of things from passionate archeology students. Spread the word around you, it’s important. Attached to Lyon 2, the city does not advertise them. How ironic.

    (Translated by Google) Completely unexpected. From the outside it seems very modest but once inside the building is surprisingly large and we see pretty plaster sculpture. Explained by passionate people who make us understand the importance of plaster casts. (Original) Complètement inattendu.

  • 3/5 Gilles R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The museum has the advantage of presenting in the same room plaster castings of statues from different periods. It is better to take a guided tour to better understand the artistic epochs and their codes. It takes an hour to visit. Note a small room reserved for medieval ornamental statues for religious buildings. (Original) Le Musée présente l'avantage de présenter dans une même salle des moulages en plâtre de statues d'époques differentes. Il vaut mieux prendre une visite guidée pour mieux comprendre les époques artistiques et leurs codes. Il faut une heure pour bien visiter. A noter une petite pièce réservée aux statues médiévales ornementales pour les edifices religieux.
