The museum is located in the Hôtel Gadagne, a building constructed in the early 17th century by the brothers Pierrevive. It underwent a redesign by brothers Gadagne in 1545. This rich Florentine family lived in Lyon in the early fifteenth century. But the disagreement between the brothers was such that they each occupied one of main two parts of the hotel, which prevented them from leading great live and giving many lavish parties.
