Musee des Confluences, Lyon

An anthropological museum in a striking building which I liked. Permanent exhibition contains a lot of standard museum-y objects (scientific instruments, bones, stuffed animals, human tools and artifices etc) and wrapped them up in themes with accompanying commentary about the place and meaning-making activities of humans: origins; species; societies; eternities

Temporary exhibitions: Antarctica (including breathtaking videos), shoes (diverting enough), west African pottery.

Worth the visit.
