Institut & Musee Lumiere, Lyon

To preface, this is a museum about the contributions and primary role of the Lumière family to the history of cinema and photography. It's not meant to give you a complete history of cinematography. Given that, you get to explore the birth of cinematography and it's growth during the era in the Lumière family residence (if you go to the second floor of the museum, there is a 50 min long film explaining the importance and significance of key films/clips). I think it's worth the 7 euro fee, to witness the innovation in film (super cool that they started to play with dimensions in the early 1900s). Its exterior is currently under renovation, the entrance is at the side.

Visited this place with a friend who is a fan of photography and this museum was actually very informative and not boring at all. Very luckily, we rent the audio guide and it allowed us to understand much more the context of the Lumière’s bothers discovery. The house on itself is just amazing!!! You can get a discount if you buy the yearly municipal museum pass and can spend a nice time there!
