Musée Dauphinois, Regional history museum in Grenoble, France.
The Musée Dauphinois occupies a restored 17th-century convent building on a hill, presenting exhibitions about life in the French Alps region.
The museum opened in 1906 under curator Hippolyte Müller, later moving to the former Sainte Marie d'en Haut convent which underwent restoration for the 1968 Winter Olympics.
The institution presents rotating exhibitions focused on regional heritage, including displays about mountain communities, skiing traditions, and archaeological discoveries.
Museum entry is free of charge, with opening hours from 10:00 to 18:00 Monday through Friday, and 10:00 to 19:00 on weekends, staying closed on Tuesdays.
The museum collection contains 100,000 objects documenting Alpine life, including 15,000 glass plates from alpinist Paul Helbronner's archival work.
