About this audio guide
This guide to the Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon opens on December 19, 1995, when Renzo Piano's red brick building greeted its first visitors mid-construction, drills still finishing walls the artists had only just designed. You'll hear why nearly every exhibition here starts with crews gutting the interior back to bare concrete, and about the salvaged 1920s facade from the old trade-fair hall that once stood on this spot. Look for it still standing in the atrium as you walk through.
