In Lyon, The Confluence Museum is often compared to a spaceship, but in reality it resembles a floating crystal cloud. Its dimensions are impressive, 180 metres long, 90 metres wide and 45 metres high.
This glass, steel and concrete building is composed of three units, the Cloud, Crystal and base. Visitors enter the museum through the crystal, which is an imposing canopy.
