Musée Jean Couty
The Musée Jean Couty is a painting museum in Lyon devoted to the work of the painter Jean Couty. Located in the north of the city, it offers a monographic visit centred on a single artist. A distinctive stop for painting lovers who want to step outside the circuit of the big museums.
A museum devoted to a single painter
Unlike large museums that span many periods, this one focuses on the work of Jean Couty. This approach lets you follow an artist's path continuously and immerse yourself in his world. It is a visit to favour if you like digging deep into a subject rather than skimming.
In the north of Lyon
The museum lies north of the city centre, which means a short trip from the Presqu'île. Use public transport or a bike and check the route before setting out. This distance is also an advantage: the place is peaceful and far from the crowds.
