## Visit Museum of Grenoble

Activities

---

---

#### See one of France’s most prestigious art museums, with an outstanding collection that holds works by Matisse, Chagall, Picasso and other masters.

Home to a collection of ancient, modern and contemporary art, the Museum of Grenoble takes visitors on a journey through Western painting from the 13th to 20th centuries. See samples of the museum’s 900 works, including many by prominent figures responsible for defining their artistic eras. 

The art house was founded in 1796, making it one of France’s oldest museums. At the time, it was also the first French museum outside of Paris devoted to modern art. In 1994, the museum moved from the 19th-century building it had occupied for more than century. Visit the treasured works in their new home.

The museum’s collection is presented chronologically, laid out along a simple circuit. Begin in the classical wing, which focuses on art from the 13th to late 19th centuries. Look for pieces by famed artists like Rubens, Canaletto, Renoir and local artist Henri Fantin-Latour. 

After exploring the classical wing, move to the second area, which focuses on 20th-century art. Look for works by Picasso, Chagall and Warhol, among other leading artists. Save time for the temporary exhibition area, where the museum hosts two major shows each year. 

Head to the museum’s basement to see its exhibition of ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian paintings, sculptures and other antiquities, which are spread across three rooms. Look for the intricate 15th-century sculpted door panel depicting Jacob and his sons, one of the highlights of this collection. 

Stroll across the glass passageway to an addition of the museum, which is housed in the medieval Tour de l'Isle (Island Tower). This building contains exhibits devoted to graphic arts and drawing. 

Outside the museum, walk along François Mitterrand Esplanade and through Albert Michallon Park, where you’ll find a collection of 20th-century sculptures. Look for important pieces like Zadkine’s *Orphée* and Gottfried Honegger’s *Monoforme 26*.

Sunday is one of the best days to visit the Museum of Grenoble because free guided tours are available with the admission price. The museum is located along the riverbank, in Place de Lavalette, and can be reached by both bus and tram.

8/10 Very Good! (56 reviews)

We have had four family ski holidays staying at Madame Vacances Hotel Le Mottaret and we have always very much enjoyed our time here. The very helpful and friendly staff are excellent. The location of the hotel is right next to the slope just a 30 second stroll from the hotel entrance. There is an excellent ski equipment hire shop on the premises which is very convenient and the shop staff are very helpful. The lounge/bar area is very comfortable and cosy after a day on the slopes, as well as the very soothing jacuzzi located outside at the front of the hotel. The swimming pool/ spa area is also very relaxing and complete with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. We stayed on a half-board basis and the buffet breakfast is fantastic and each evening there was a different theme for the buffet dinner. We really enjoyed every meal! Our room was clean and comfortable with a bath and shower. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here and will soon be booking our next stay here in January 2007.
