Reviews
Excellent collection of fine arts, primary paintings, in a beautiful big spacious building with impressive architecture. This museum is a must-see attraction if you are in Grenoble. The entrance fee for adults is 8EUR. Card payments are accepted too. Based on my experience I would recommend planning at least 2h for the visit of the permanent exhibition. Check the up to date opening times. When I visited the museum was open from 10am to 6:30pm. The collection contains masterpieces of Rodin, Miro, Canaletto, Warhol, Gauguin, Monet, Marc Chagall, Braque, Picasso and many more artists from various epochs.
The Museum of Grenoble is a very beautiful place with stunning architecture. The permanent exhibition features great paintings from great painters and also it has a modern art section. The staff is very kind and they really like what they are doing which is great, since they transfer a positive energy. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions that you can definitely go for a visit since their subjects are very different. I suggest to visit their official website for more information.
I liked the museum permanent exhibition. Light, the set of paintings, the whole building itself... Everything seemed perfect. Even the chairs! Impressed to see Chagall and Delaunay!
