22nd G7 Summit Venue
This site is the location where the 22nd G7 summit took place in June 1996. The meetings were hosted at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon, a venue that reflects France's history of hosting international diplomatic summits. Visitors go here to see the architectural setting of these political gatherings and to explore the surrounding cultural district.
