Musée Miniature et Cinéma
A distinctive museum in the old town, with miniature scenes of astonishing detail and real props and effects models from films such as Perfume.
The museum occupies a 16th-century building in Lyon's Saint-Jean district and was founded by miniature artist Dan Ohlmann. Half of its galleries are hyperrealistic miniature scenes, including a Parisian café, restaurant and library, with details measured in millimeters. The other half holds a large collection of film props, costumes and special-effects models. These include sets from the film Perfume, which was shot in Lyon, and original pieces from Hollywood films such as Alien and Batman. Admission is about 13 euros. The museum is a two-minute walk from Lyon Cathedral and is suitable for children.
