Cinq Siècles

The Hospices Civils de Lyon (Lyon hospitals) architect offers a walk through time prior to the reconversion of the Hôtel-Dieu which is a feast for the eyes and ears. Its heritage unfolds using five three-dimensional tableaux. Total immersion in the ambience of each century is guaranteed. The 17^th century is lit by candlelight, there are sumptuous 18^th century facades, the 19^th century is represented by a cabaret bathed in red light, the 20^th century conjures up Liberation Day celebrations and it culminates with the 21^st century which heralds a new era. A soundtrack fills the courtyard in step with the scenes.
