A place to discover the great adventure of five centuries of Lyonnais silk, and to learn about Jacquard's invention.
Master weavers of gold, silver and silk threads, the Canuts, through their ingenuity and hard work, shaped part of Lyon's history and the history of France, and were behind the first workers' revolts in the early 19th century, with their famous motto: "Live by working or die by fighting". Three exhibition rooms to learn all about the Canuts and the Fabrique, the name of Lyon's silk industry. Guided tour workshops. Store with fashion accessories by Philéone, a brand of the Maison des Canuts.
