Last updated date : 19/08/2026
Through the lens of photographer Jean-Claude Martinez, this exhibition explores the deep connections that unite residents, workers, visitors, and history enthusiasts.
An exhibition that reveals a living ancient heritage, in dialogue with the present.
How does a neighbourhood, steeped in history, continue to shape the lives of those who visit it every day? This is the question the museum asked itself, and one to which this unique exhibition – set up at the archaeological sites of the Roman theatres – provides an answer. Through the lens of photographer Jean-Claude Martinez and the personal stories gathered by journalist Régis Guillet, the exhibition ‘Roman Theatres: When History Shapes Destinies’ explores the deep connections that bind local residents, workers, visitors and history enthusiasts to these archaeological sites (on Fourvière Hill) and their 2,000-year-old heritage.
