Local history in Sculpture, Artifacts, Paintings, and other mixed media -- with a fully restored Roman era Crypt!
THE MUSEUM IN A FEW WORDS (Translated)
Located in the heart of the historic center of Grenoble, in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral, the Musée de l'Ancien Évêché is housed in the former bishops' palace, a building protected as a Historic Monument.
The site presents in its basement archaeological remains of first importance, witnesses of the religious history of the city: the baptistery dating from the first Christian times.
The floors of the palace, which has become a museum, house the exhibition "L'Isère en histoire", inviting a chronological journey to discover a territory, its history and its people. Each year, the museum presents two temporary exhibitions on themes of interest to the heritage of Isère.

=== The Plan ===

1. We will queue at the café between 13:00 and 13:15 for coffee, snacks, etc.
2. We will depart at 13:15h on foot ( the walk is < 5 minutes or about 150 meters to Museum )

• Follow all safety and sanitation rules and regulations posted in the museum.
• If you're late, ping me on WhatsApp at: +1-412-378-3823 (or inside Meetup messenger app)

3. Spend as much or as little time as you want at the museum
4. After the event we may catch a crêpe / coffee / beer / bubble tea.

== Background / Introduction ==

This museum is in the basement of a historic home in a small Ville/Municipality just south of Grenoble. We will probably take a group ride on the Tram and/or a Bus to get there.

"It gathers industrial machineries, laboratory appliances, documentary pictures and pictures.

The museum recounts Marcel Deprez experience who succeeded in carrying an electric current which was generated by a hydraulic turbine from the Jarrie railway station to the grains covered market in Grenoble.
An incredible “special fabrications” room unveils the manufacturing process of synthetic gems thanks to the Verneuil's process.

The museum has been entirely renovated in 2000."

Or maybe we wait to nice weather, and do a group bicycle Ride!

NOTE: There is a small entrance fee for this event (most musee are free!)
