Discover the Brochier Soieries Silk Museum in the heart of Lyon with this entry ticket and explore over 130 years of silk-making history.

Located just a few minutes from Place Bellecour, the museum presents the storey of the Maison Brochier Soieries, a historic silk house founded in 1890 and still active today across four generations.

Through a self-guided visit, you discover how this Lyon-based family company became a key player in the world of silk, producing hundreds of thousands of metres of fabric for haute couture and contemporary art.

Admire exceptional creations made with leading fashion designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix, Valentino and Hubert de Givenchy.

The museum also showcases unique artistic collaborations with 20th-century masters such as Joan Miró, Alexander Calder and Jean Cocteau, highlighting the close link between silk craftsmanship and modern art.

A major highlight of the museum is its focus on innovation. Discover how traditional Jacquard looms evolved into cutting-edge textile technologies used in fields such as aerospace, healthcare, and environmental research — from Concorde components to scientific balloons and optical fibre textiles.

The Brochier Soieries Museum offers a unique journey between heritage, fashion, art, and technology — all within an authentic working silk house.

The museum shop is also open to visitors, offering a selection of silk scarves and velvet squares entirely made in Lyon in the workshops of the Maison Brochier Soieries.

For visitors wishing to go further, it is also possible to extend the experience with a guided visit of the Brochier Soieries printing workshops in Lyon, where silk fabrics are still traditionally printed today, offering a deeper insight into the living craftsmanship behind the museum collections.
