Message from Management
Since 1968, the Musée Dauphinois has occupied the former convent of Sainte-Marie d'en-Haut, located on the slopes of the Bastille. This historic building, constructed in the 15th century, originally housed the Visitation Sainte-Marie order. Today, the museum is dedicated to forging close links with the original and adopted inhabitants of the Dauphiné Alps. It collects, preserves and shares the vestiges of a common memory. It establishes connections between yesterday and today, the local and the universal, using its collections as keys to deciphering the modern world. Among them, you'll appreciate over a hundred thousand objects and documents. These include ethnographic collections from Alpine cultures and objects of regional decorative art. The museum offers you both a place to investigate Alpine history through the ages and a space to reflect on the present. Every year, it presents two or three exhibitions, with a wealth of publications, lectures and debates. Each exhibition successively addresses the region's archaeology and heritage, both rural and industrial. There are also thematic sections featuring paintings, photos and postcards. A place of discovery not to be missed in Grenoble!
