Museum4.3 · 1 6854 · 37≈ 2 hEntry: ~8 €
After a decade-long restoration, the puppet arts museum reopened in 2025 inside the Renaissance mansion of Gadagne in the heart of Vieux-Lyon. Its heart is Guignol, the puppet invented by Lyon dentist Laurent Mourguet around 1808: hundreds of figures from around the world, stage scenes and theatre secrets. The same ticket covers the Museum of Lyon History in the same building; a terrace on top looks over the rooftops.
Highlights
- Guignol, Lyon's puppet since 1808
- Hundreds of puppets worldwide
- Renaissance mansion of Gadagne
- One ticket covers both museums
