About
Lugdunum, formerly known as the Gallo-Roman Museum of Lyon-Fourvière (French: musée gallo-romain de Fourvière) or Museum of Roman Civilisation (musée de la Civilisation romaine), is a museum of Gallo-Roman civilisation in Lyon (Roman Lugdunum). Previously presented at the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon and the Antiquarium, the municipal Gallo-Roman collection was transferred to a new building designed by Bernard Zehrfuss and opened in 1975, near the city's Roman theatre and odeon, on a hill known as Fourvière, located in the heart of the Roman city.
