Take a step back in time at the Lugdunum Museum and Roman Theatres. This museum and UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site located on the slopes of Fourvière Hill in Lyon, France offers you an easy way to immerse yourself in Roman history.

Feel like you’ve gone back to ancient Roman times while wandering past the Roman Theatre and Odeon of Lyon, both important monuments which form part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. In fact, this is the place where the Roman city of Lugdunum was founded 43 B.C.

Bring your immersion even further at the 4,000-square-metre Lugdunum Museum. Here, you’ll bear witness to one of the most extensive archaeological collections in France, with hundreds of Roman and Celtic artifacts and antiquities lining the halls. Opened in 1975, the museum tastefully blends into the landscape of the archaeological site.
