Champollion Museum, Egyptian history museum in Vif, France
The museum occupies the former Champollion family residence, displaying collections related to the decoding of Egyptian hieroglyphs through documents and artifacts.
The French Ministry of Culture designated this site as a national museum in 2020, leading to substantial renovations before its public opening in 2021.
The permanent exhibition presents the work environment of Jean-François Champollion through his personal objects, manuscripts, and Egyptian antiquities from the Louvre.
Located at 45 rue Champollion, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday and remains closed on Mondays throughout the year.
The Louvre Museum has transferred 85 Egyptian artifacts to this institution, establishing a significant collection outside Paris.
