Museum of Fabrics and Decorative Arts

34 Rue de la Charité, 69002 Lyon

Currently closed for major renovation work

The Musée des Tissus et des Arts Décoratifs de Lyon, founded in 1864, is a must-see place for Lyon's cultural heritage. This museum houses one of the largest textile collections in the world, with more than 2.5 million pieces covering 4,500 years of history. Its collections highlight the wealth of Lyon's textile industry, with pieces ranging from Antiquity to contemporary creations.

Currently closed for major renovation work, the museum is undergoing a major transformation thanks to a large-scale project led by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region. This project aims to modernize the space while preserving the historical identity of the premises, in particular the Lacroix-Laval and Villeroy private mansions, architectural gems of the 18th century.

The future museum, scheduled to reopen in the coming years, will offer an enriched and diversified experience. It will include new dining areas, including a restaurant with a terrace, as well as gardens accessible to all. The scenography, entrusted to Renaud Pierrard, creator of the Islamic arts departments at the Louvre, will bring together the textile and decorative collections in a renewed tour. (Lyon Arts Museum).

While waiting for the reopening, several temporary exhibitions allow you to discover certain emblematic pieces of the museum in other institutions in France and abroad. (Lyon Arts Museum)This revival is part of a broader ambition to restore Lyon to a central place in textile art and decorative arts.
