Musée de Grenoble

The Musée de Grenoble is the municipal museum of fine arts and antiquities of the city of Grenoble, in the Isère. On Place Lavalette, it is considered, for both its old master and its modern and contemporary art collections, one of the most prestigious museums in Europe. It was founded on 16 February 1798 by Louis-Joseph Jay, well before other French provincial museums. That day, a decree of the departmental administration set out the creation of a museum in Grenoble, whose article 10 stated that "citizen Louis-Joseph Jay is appointed curator of this museum".
