We only went there because it rained but really enjoyed it! Very interesting insight on the movie decors and special effects. Interesting miniatures sets. 7€ entry fee for adults. More

We really enjoyed the displays in the museum, and we even had a conversation with the owner/artist. He is interesting, and clearly very passionate about his work! More

I loved this museum which has three former sets from the movie "Perfume" with Dustin Hoffman, original costumes from movies like "Gladiator," "Buffy the Vampire," "Alien," "Minority Report," and hundreds of others, plus hand-made miniature rooms that were a preliminary step for building movie sets. This place is unique and way cool! More

We strongly recommend this museum. It has both sets from movies, as well as amazingly constructed miniatures of "everyday life." We visited on the Lyon Pass so the visit was "free", but normally there is a charge. More

Some of the displays could be deemed a little gruesome to younger visitors (but warning signs are displayed) and they are curtained off. The upper... More

We were planning to visit this museum in less than 1 hour and we stayed ... more than 2 hours! The museum is located in the old centre of Lyon in a medieval house. The gound level is nice for kids (starwars ship, costume of Planet of the Apes, etc.) but a little bit dusty. We mostly liked the other... More

Fascinating exhibition. Some of the exhibits were a bit gruesome and my husband, who is not normally bothered by these things, had nightmares that night. Don't let that put you off though, just don't take young children. More
