Maison Bergès, Industrial heritage museum in Villard-Bonnot, France.

The Maison Bergès museum presents exhibits about hydroelectric power development through scientific instruments, technical documents, and industrial machinery displays.

The building belonged to engineer Aristide Bergès, who pioneered hydroelectric power generation in the French Alps during the late 19th century.
