After 17 years of silence and nearly closed doors, the Guimet Museum, a cultural gem nestled facing the Tête d'Or Park in Lyon, is preparing to come back to life with a major exhibition in partnership with the Centre Pompidou in Paris. In 2025, the museum will return to the forefront of Lyon's cultural scene with an ambitious and unprecedented project: the "Sentimental Museum".

As rumors of a sale swirled around the future of the Guimet Museum in Lyon, causing heritage and history enthusiasts to tremble with fear, the green-minded municipality of Lyon has made a decision: the museum will indeed remain a public gem, at least until the end of the current term. And what better way to celebrate this news than with a large-scale exhibition that promises to leave a lasting impression?

Nathalie Perrin-Gilbert, the deputy to culture, shared the first details of this project called "Sentimental Museum", in statements reported by Actu Lyon: "We are finalizing the proposal to host an exhibition for seven months, which we would call the "Sentimental Museum" and which would bring together works from the collection of the Centre Pompidou mixed with works from our collections at the Museum of Fine Arts and the MAC. The idea would be to open in the spring of 2025 and continue until the end of the year."

But the experience will not stop at the doors of the Guimet Museum. To awaken curiosity and encourage discovery, some works will also be exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts and at the MAC, inviting the public to a true artistic journey through the city. This project, which aims to be a bridge between the past, present, and future of culture in Lyon, promises to bring a historic place back to life while celebrating creativity and artistic innovation. Whether you are a true Lyonnais or just passing through, get ready to experience an unforgettable artistic immersion in the heart of Lyon in 2025.
