Musée de la Grande Chartreuse, History museum in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, France.

The Musée de la Grande Chartreuse occupies the Correrie, a group of monastic buildings from the 17th to 19th centuries set below the monastery, with pale rendered walls, steep grey slate roofs, a slender square tower with a pointed spire and a round-cornered tower with a conical roof. Since 2010 the visit is arranged around 79 painted maps of charterhouses, made mostly in the late 17th century for Dom Innocent Le Masson, displayed along a route looping around the cloister garden.

In 1084 Bruno and six companions settled in the Chartreuse as hermits; to protect the fathers' silence, the lay brothers were housed downstream at La Correrie, in low buildings used as dwellings and workshops. These 17th-19th century buildings later held a printing house and an infirmary for sick fathers. The museum opened there in 1957, about twenty minutes' walk below the enclosed monastery, and was awarded the Musée de France label.

The museum occupies La Correrie, the lower house of the Grande Chartreuse, where lay brothers lived and worked so the fathers' silence went undisturbed. Since 1 May 2010 the visit has centred on the Cartes de Chartreuse: 79 painted maps of charterhouses worldwide, most made in the late 17th century for Dom Innocent Le Masson, prior and minister general of the order.

The museum occupies the former lower monastery at La Correrie, about a twenty-minute walk downhill from the closed Grande Chartreuse monastery, so visitors are received here rather than at the cloister itself. Since the 2009-2012 renovation the building is adapted for people with reduced mobility. The visit is organised as a loop around the cloister garden.

The museum holds 79 painted maps of charterhouses worldwide, most made in the late 17th century for Dom Innocent Le Masson, prior of the Grande Chartreuse and general minister of the order. All are listed as historical monuments, and restoration has revealed their artistic value. They show the shared and specific architecture of each charterhouse.
