Art galleries in Grenoble: directory, map and artistic districts

5 place Lavalette, 38000 Grenoble

8 esplanade Andry-Farcy, 38000 Grenoble

Installed in an industrial hall designed by Gustave Eiffel, the Store is a historical landmark of contemporary art in France. Its exhibitions produced on site favor international stories, performance and experimental forms, with constant attention to creative conditions.

Fort de la Bastille, summit site, 38000 Grenoble

At the top of the Bastille, the vaulted casemates of the CAB impose on artists a direct dialogue with stone, slope and the Alpine landscape. Installations, sculptures and images take on a physical dimension, after a cable car ride which is already part of the experience.

9 place de Verdun, 38000 Grenoble

2 rue Très-Cloîtres, 38000 Grenoble

In the old episcopal palace, the route connects the early Christian baptistery to the landscapes, objects and images that tell the story of Isère. Temporary exhibitions give a real place to photography and local artists, without separating creation and social history.

30 rue Maurice-Gignoux, 38000 Grenoble

This society museum installed in a former convent observes the Alps through objects, testimonies, photography and creation. Its exhibitions connect migrations, professions, beliefs and contemporary transformations, while the gardens open up a striking view of the city.

Place Saint-Laurent, 38000 Grenoble

Under the old Saint-Laurent church, nearly two millennia of architecture and funerary practices overlap. The Saint-Oyand crypt, the burials and a precise digital scenography transform the site into a spatial experience as much as an archeology museum.

Chemin Hébert, 38700 La Tronche

4 rue André-Chevalier, 38000 Grenoble
