Museum of the French Revolution

The Museum of the French Revolution displays a collection of paintings, sculptures, and historical objects within the grand halls of Château de Vizille.

In 1788, the castle hosted a pivotal assembly of 187 members from Tiers États, 49 clergymen, and 159 noblemen, marking the start of revolutionary events.

The exhibitions present artistic creations from the revolutionary period through paintings, ceramics, tapestries, and furniture that reflect societal changes across Europe.

The museum opens daily except Tuesdays from 10:00 to 12:30 and 13:30 to 18:00 between April and October, with winter hours ending at 17:00.

The Albert Soboul Documentation Centre contains 27,000 titles about the French Revolution, establishing it as a primary research facility for this historical period.
