Fodor's Review:

This museum is housed in the city's largest ensemble of Renaissance buildings, the Hôtel de Gadagne, built between the 14th and 16th centuries. Medieval sculpture, furniture, pottery, paintings, and engravings are on display. Also housed here is the Musée de la Marionnette (Puppet Museum), tracing the history of marionettes, beginning with Guignol and Madelon (Lyon's Punch and Judy, created by Laurent Mourguet in 1795).

Cost: EUR 6
Open: Wed.-Mon. 10:45-6
