Le musée des Confluences, un monde vivant

Description

PRE-ORDER

In Lyon, on the tip of the peninsula where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet, the Musée des Confluences is unlike any other museum. Designed by the Coop Himmelb(l)au architectural practice, this vessel of glass, concrete and steel intrigues, attracts and astonishes its many visitors. To celebrate its tenth anniversary, the Musée des Confluences recounts the choices it has made to make it a living, breathing place. This book is not a catalogue, but a record of this unique approach.

A group of authors, including the museum's architect, Wolf dPrix, members of the Musée des Confluences team, historians, writers and donors, have come together in this book to reveal the many facets of the museum.

Numerous photographs by Pierre-Olivier Deschamps, Philippe Somnolet and the winners of the 'My Museum' photo competition offer new perspectives on the Musée des Confluences.
