3. Musee Claude Bernard

5.0 based on 9 reviews
Claude Bernard was one of the most distinguished physiologists and medical scientists of nineteenth century in France, and arguably the most influential on subsequent generations of medical researchers. Yet it is not easy to find the full scope of what he did and wrote - nor what has been written about him. The aim of the Claude Bernard Museum is to set him in the context of the 19th century in order to understand who was this unknown man. The first floor of the building broaches the private life of Claude Bernard and his personality. The second floor is more oriented in the science universe of the 19th century and talks about the unavailable discoveries of Claude Bernard.

There’s a great deal of history here and it was surprisingly interesting. The first printing presses, the Gutenberg bible, the leaflets that started the Reformation, posters denouncing the clergy during the French Revolution, political posters, Art Nouveau in advertising, etc etc. lots of explanations of printing processes and all in all a fascinating hour. There’s a lovely courtyard in this ancient building and its free if you’ve got your Lyon card and if you haven’t, you should. One word of warning there’s no lift.
