Five exhibitions not to be missed this summer in Lyon

Whether you're learning, exploring, admiring, or just cooling off, museums are a great way to keep busy during the summer. Lyon Capitale has selected five exhibitions not to be missed this summer:

Did you know that a human being spends a third of their life sleeping and a good part of it dreaming? This little-discussed theme is showcased by the Musée des Confluence through its temporary exhibition: "The Time of a Dream." Installed since October 18 in the museum's basement, the immersive exhibition is accessible until August 24. It will be an opportunity to answer all questions concerning the fabulous world of dreams and the unconscious. Bonus: admission is free for students.

Price: 12 euros

This is the exhibition not to be missed this summer. Until September 21, the Museum of Fine Arts invites you to immerse yourself in the world of François Rouan through the exhibition: "Around the Imprint" . In total, 140 works, from the artist's studio or private collections, will adorn the museum walls. Between paintings, drawings, photographs and intertwined lines, "Around the Imprint" represents the body. A theme to interpret as you wish.

Price: 8 euros

This summer, the Jean Couty Museum invites you on a journey through time. Through its exhibition "Lyon, Dream City," the museum in the 9th arrondissement invites you to explore a century of pictorial history. From Saint-Jean Cathedral to Place Bellecour, via Fourvière and the banks of the Rhône, the exhibition traces all the emblematic elements of the City of Lights throughout the century. Among the artists on display are Jean Fusaro, Jacques Truphémus, Micheline Colin, and Michèle Caussin-Bellon.

Price: 6 euros

This time we're not talking about dreams, but about rave with the exhibition "Between Rave and Reality ." Presented by the Lyon Municipal Library, the exhibition traces the history of electronic music, from its birth to its expansion in Lyon. Vinyl records, flyers, costumes—all traces of the passage of electro culture—can be found in the 3rd arrondissement until October 31st.

Price: Free entry

Finally, what could be better this summer than enjoying a floral setting? Until August 27, the Tomaselli Collection (9th arrondissement) is presenting an exhibition dedicated to the art of flowers since the 17th century. Through an immersive journey, "The Art of Flowers" reveals floral drawings and paintings created by Lyon artists from the Fine Arts and silk industries.

Price: from 6 to 10 euros
