Musée de l'Ancien Évêché — Attraction in Grenoble

Adjoining the imposing Cathedrale Notre Dame is the 14th-century Bishop’s Palace, the former residence of Grenoble’s bishops. No longer used as a bishop’s palace, it now houses the small but superb Musee de l’Ancien Eveche, a history museum that contains unique pottery pieces excavated out of the Roman-era crypt that spreads out below the cathedral square. The vaulted building itself is worth a visit for its simple but provoking architecture. The highlight is unquestionably the 4th-century underground baptistery which still accommodates the original baptismal font formerly used for the baptism of adult converts on Easter night. Remnants of intact sections of old Roman walls can be examined in the adjoining crypt. The highlights of the exhibits in the museum are: (i) the bronze Statuette de Venus that dates back to the second century (ii) a unique pottery amphora known as the ‘cruche’ dating back to the first century (iii) an artistic threesome composition that dates back to 1968, made in recognition of the Jeux Olympiques de Grenoble (iv) a 17th-century world-renowned oil-on-canvas portrait of Claudine de Berenger Entrance to the museum is free. Entrance is through the gate on Rue Tres-Cloitres, right behind...

It’s a great museum in wonderful historical building. There is a Roman ruin in the basement that was discovered when they were building the tram lines. You can see the room where they did baptisms and all the artifacts that were found there. The lead pipe that used to bring water to the baptistery is still visible in the ruins. All the other exhibits, on the upper floors, are really well organized and interesting. There’s prehistoric artifacts, Roman weapons, paintings and other interesting exhibitions. All the signs and descriptions are in French, but you can use a translate app if you need to....

Vecino de la austera de la Catedral de Notre Dame de Grenoble es un muy buen museo de la historia de la ciudad y el distrito de L’ Isere hasta la actualidad.

En el subsuelo se encuentra el baptisterio donde se descubrió la huella romana original de la primera iglesia cristiana (durante la construcción de una de las primeras líneas de tranvía) como un sitio arqueológico de importancia. Ahora se conserva y se muestra debajo de la catedral actual. El resto del museo se distribuye en 3 niveles que muestran artefactos recuperados de la localidad que cubren la prehistoria del área y luego se concentran en artefactos religiosos a lo largo de los siglos.

La exposición resulta ser muy interesante y amena. También es gratis entrar.El personal de recepción es muy agradable y receptivo Vale la pena visitarlo.

Les détails austères de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Grenoble constituent un très bon musée de l'histoire de Grenoble et de l'Isère à ce jour.

Il est aujourd'hui conservé et exposé sous la cathédrale actuelle.
