The Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon, located in the 6th arrondissement of Lyon, France, is a renowned museum dedicated to contemporary art. Nestled in the Cité Internationale, it is conveniently situated next to a cinema and opposite the beautiful Parc de la Tête d'Or. The museum was established in 1983 and initially housed in the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon. It gained official status as a contemporary art museum in 1988 and moved to its current location in 1995, in a building designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano. The building is a blend of 1930s facade and modern brick volume, offering a 2700 sq.m. area for exhibitions. The museum is unique in its philosophy of presenting works created by artists directly on site. It alternates between showcasing its permanent collection, which is the largest European group installations ever assembled in a museum, and hosting temporary exhibitions. The museum is a symbol of open city and uninhibited art, and is a must-visit for art enthusiasts.
