Wayfinding system for the Lugdunum Museum in Lyon

The Lugdunum Archaeological Museum in Lyon, designed by Bernard Zehrfuss and opened in 1975, impresses with its underground brutalist architecture and unusual layout of winding ramps and staircases. We developed a wayfinding system that brings clarity to these striking yet complex spaces, guiding visitors reliably and intuitively. Site maps, floor overviews and clear landmarks lead to exhibitions and Roman ruins. Clear, aesthetic and accessible, the signage creates a dialogue between architecture and exhibits.

Studio Gourdin is a creative, owner-managed agency from Hamburg with a focus on communication in space. The central point of our work is people, whether they are customers, employees or users of spaces and places. On the basis of this we create successful signage and scenography as well as interior, exterior and corporate design.
