This first exhibition of the collection offers a panorama of Lyon's creation from the 18th century to today.
The collection covers a long period, from the 16th century to the present day. All genres of painting are represented, from still life to landscapes, especially views of Lyon.
This first exhibition is an introduction to rediscover Lyon's painting, which from the 16th century to the present day has produced so many exciting artists and works.
To discover the Collection is to begin a journey through time, where one will observe, for example, the close relationship between Lyon's painters and Rome from the 17th to the 19th centuries, or how original painting trends have developed over time. It is also to understand why talented artists have chosen to stay in Lyon, at the expense of a national career and on the contrary, how regional artists have made an international career while remaining attached to their Lyon roots.
