With its strategic location between the Saône and Rhône rivers, this ethnology museum is a futuristic architectural feat dreamt up by Austrian architects Coop Himmelb(l)au. It charts humanity’s history and geography going all the way from the Big Bang. A hallmark of its success is that over a million visitors from 69 countries have flocked here since its 2015 opening.
