4.7 out of 5 stars

Mélany T.

I loved my visit even though I'm far from being a cinephile. Very interesting and affordable… I loved the miniature section! Truly magical.

Kaora D.

Absolutely fabulous… it's my sixth visit and the wonder is there every time… there's even the Alien Queen!!!! … As for the miniature interiors… they are fascinating in their details…

Ariane

If the museum's very unique exterior architecture catches your eye, the interior is even more disorienting… the costumes and figurines delighted me as I plunged into the behind‑the‑scenes of the seventh art. The highlight of the visit remains the life‑size Alien Queen…

Anne S

Very complete, interesting museum… The children loved it and so did we.

This museum in Vieux Lyon is worth a visit! You'll find characters and film sets from well-known movies, plus a whole floor dedicated to miniatures. The building is typical of Vieux Lyon and spans multiple levels. Overall, a great time and lots of nostalgia from the films of my youth!
