Ancien musée-bibliothèque de Grenoble

The Ancien musée-bibliothèque is a public information center housed in an 1870 building with classical design and exhibition spaces across multiple floors. It displays physical models and visual representations of urban development projects throughout the Grenoble region.

The building was completed in 1870 and originally served as a municipal library and museum. In 1992, the collections relocated to new facilities, transforming the space into an urban development information center.

The building displays 19th-century classical design and currently showcases exhibitions about city development projects. Visitors can observe how the space functions as a window into Grenoble's changing urban landscape.

The center sits on Place de Verdun in the city center with wheelchair accessibility throughout. It works best to visit during less busy times so you can examine the models and plans at your own pace.

The building houses digital simulations of future construction projects that reveal how specific city neighborhoods will develop. These visualizations give visitors a preview of Grenoble's planned future.
