Lyon Fair @ Eurexpo

The  Lyon Fair  is back, and this year, it's taking a leap through time to the fabulous '70s to '90s!  A time when backpacks were covered in Fluomania stickers, when we dreamed in front of Saint Seiya, and when Saturday mornings meant Club Dorothée. Nostalgia is in the air, and the 2025 edition of this must-attend event is all about pop culture, inviting visitors to dive back into their childhood memories... or to discover this iconic era for the first time.

Boulevard de l'Europe - Chassieu
From Friday, April 4 to Monday, April 14, 2025
Adult entry at €6 via the ticket office.

Painting, sculpture, photography, and installations blend together to reveal the evolution of landscapes as an intimate expression. From realist traditions to the bold abstractions of the 20th century, the exhibition also highlights contemporary artists engaging with the Foundation's collections.
