Museum of Grenoble, Art museum in Grenoble, France.
The Museum of Grenoble displays art from different periods, from ancient Egyptian objects to works by living artists, spread across several floors of a modern structure. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects arranged by style and period.
The institution opened in 1798 with nearly 300 works from a local painter's collection. The move to the current building took place in 1994 and tripled the available exhibition space.
The name honors Louis-Joseph Jay, a local painter who donated his private collection to the city. Today the institution hosts rotating exhibitions from around the world and organizes live music performances that connect sound with visual art.
The rooms are fully wheelchair accessible and sit close to the city center. The institution opens Wednesday through Monday from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM, closing on Tuesdays.
General Leon de Beylié donated numerous European masterpieces from his personal collection in the early 20th century. An outdoor sculpture garden complements the indoor galleries and invites visitors to pause.
