If the windows are still inhabited, the doors of the automata museum are now closed, and this definitively.
Established for 76 years in the Vieux-Lyon district, the establishment announced its closure via a press release on Tuesday morning.
Originally, the sign was a craft workshop creating and repairing automatons before becoming the museum that we know.
For thirty years, the 250 exhibits were made on site before being staged in 7 rooms telling twenty different stories.
In its press release, the museum explained that it had found "neither sponsor nor buyers to continue the adventure", "despite strong mobilization".
The Saint-Georges district, where Guignol was born, therefore loses one of its heritage jewels.
