Musée des Confluences

    La Musée des Confluences is really close to CSI so we walked there. It was only about 5 minutes away and we walked on the bridge over the Rhône river. One of the reasons it’s called Musée des Confluences is because it is located on the confluence of the two rivers of Lyon. The other reason is because they try to show how all of their artifacts interact with each other even though they are from different time periods and cultures. They focus on answering the three main questions- Who are we, Where are we from, and What do we do? The architecture is also important to the aesthetic of the museum. They strive for a open and modern type of building with large glass walls and metal beams. Our tour guide encouraged us to think about the building with an open mind and what it could represent. After the tour, we went up to the cafe on the roof and it was nice because it had a great view of Lyon. And good food.
