Arranged in the early 1980s at Lyon, on the very site of the birth of the cinematograph, the Lumière museum takes place in the four levels of the Art Nouveau / Art Deco castle of the father of the two famous inventors of the seventh art, the Lumière brothers.
In about twenty rooms, the site offers to discover a scientific and historical course of the history of the invention of the cinematograph with in particular projections of Enlightenment films with commentary or the presence of the first cameras, color and relief photographs or even other objects as unusual as each other. In the garden, the Lumière museum offers a cinema room, Le Hangar, the same one that hosted the shooting of the first film in history.
Cinema lovers or simply curious will have digital tablets and other audio guides to learn more about this art with a thousand facets.
