Drawings The “cabinet des dessins”, which was part of the Art and Industry Museum when it was created, is now endowed with about 1100 drawings. Italian majolica The museum has one of the most important collection of Italian Majolica in France, thanks to the generosity of a lyonnais industrialist and his wife who, from 1938 to 1973 gave almost 204 pieces of prime quality. Furniture The collection enables a synthetic view of French furniture from the Renaissance period to the beginning of the nineteenth century, made by Parisian or Lyonnais cabinet makers with eighteenth century furniture given pride of place.
