Contemporary art in Lyon

Right next door to this luxury hotel, the Musee d’Art Contemporain de Lyon (Lyon Museum of Contemporary Art) has beautiful temporary collections on display.  The museum is also known for its «two facades»:  The main part of the building is modern with glass and brick, and blends into the facade of the historic ball room of Lyon.  Located opposite the Parc de la Tete d’Or (Golden Head Park), the Musee d’Art Contemporain is one of the 4 most important sites of the famous Biennales d’Art Contemporain (Biennial Contemporary Art Festival of Lyon).

Temporary Exhibitions of the MAC (Lyon Museum of Contempoary Art)

The Musee d’Art Contemporain de Lyon, commonly called ‘MAC’, also offers a wide variety of temporary exhibitions of modern art.  The interior architecture of the museum changes between each project in order to present a different circuit through the new exhibitions.  The museum closes for 6 weeks between each exhibition for the interior reorganization process.
