Musée de l'Ancien Évêché

The Musée de l'Ancien Évêché (Museum of the Former Bishopric) is a departmental museum located in Grenoble, France and dedicated to the Isère heritage through the history of its Bishop's palace.

Inaugurated in 1998,[1] it is settled in the former Bishop's palace, near Grenoble Cathedral.

The museum gives access to the remains of an early Christian baptistry and to a section of the vestiges of the Gallo-Roman wall in the basement of the building.
