Musée des Confluences

Coop Himmelb(l)au | Website | 2014 | Visitor Information

86 Quai Perrache, Lyon 69002, France

The Musée des Confluences understands itself not as an exclusive “Temple of the Muses” for the educated elite, but as a public gateway to the knowledge of our time. It stimulates a direct, active use—not only as a place of contemplation, but also as a meeting place in the city.

The striking interface situation of the construction site at the eponymous confluence of the Rhône and the Saône inspired the superposition in urban space of two complexly linked architectural units, crystal and cloud. The cloud structure, floating on pillars, contains a spatial sequence of black boxes— admitting no daylight, so as to achieve maximum flexibility for exhibition design

By contrast, the crystal, rising towards the city side, functions as a transparent urban forum; it faces the city and receives visitors.
