Nadine,

It is something under the Conseil Général du Rhône. They don't want to call 
it "a museum," so it is still named "un équipement consacré aux sciences, aux 
techniques et à la société." They likely want to combine something inspired 
from the Exploratorium in San Francisco, with the former natural history 
collections of the Museum d'histoire naturelle de Lyon, while adding specific 
social, educational functions.

You may try to contact the Conseil Général (there also seems to be a Director 
of this "équipement"): Hôtel du Département. 29.31 cours de la Liberté. 69483 
Lyon cedex 03

Good luck

Claude Ardouin
