La Sucrière ([la sy.kʁi.jɛʁ], "The Sugar-House") is a building devoted to contemporary art, situated 48 Quai Rambaud, on the banks of the Saône in the Confluence quarter of the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon.

[1] The building was completely renovated in 2003 by architect William Vassal[2] to turn it into a place for exhibitions of contemporary art.

It has thus became the main venue of the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Lyon from 2007.

[3] Its 9,000 m2 (97,000 sq ft) area spread on three floor houses a complex and original architecture.

[4] In 2008, an exhibition of flayed bodies caused a controversy about the origin of the corpses.
