I suggest bringing a light jacket. The museum can get chilly, especially around the projection areas.

Get there early, around 9 AM, to beat the crowds. It was peaceful and photogenic before the tourists flooded in. Plus, the morning light is gorgeous for shots!

I recommend wearing comfy shoes. The climb up can be a little steep and you'll want to explore all the surrounding areas without your feet killing you.

I recommend bringing a good pair of walking shoes. There’s a lot of ground to cover, and I regret wearing something fancier than I should have.

I think you should take your time in the miniatures section. It gets crowded and if you rush, you might miss some really cool details!

I recommend hitting up the little gift shop after your visit! I found some unique souvenirs that you won't see anywhere else.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The house is in the Croix-Rousse area, which is super hilly so you'll be walking a bit. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!

I found the gift shop quite charming. They had some unique souvenirs that were actually worth buying instead of more generic stuff elsewhere in Lyon.

Buy your tickets online to skip the long lines at the entrance – it saved me at least 30 minutes. The museum can get pretty crowded, especially on weekends.

I suggest visiting during the week instead of the weekend; it’s way less crowded and you can take your time appreciating the exhibits.
