Located on the "Les Champollion" estate in Vif, the Musée Champollion is dedicated to the work of the two brothers and the birth of Egyptology. It is the 11th museum in the Isère department.

The Musée Champollion is dedicated to the memory of the Champollion brothers: Jean-François (1790-1832), the Egyptologist, and Jacques-Joseph Champollion-Figeac (1778-1867), his elder brother, and to the birth of Egyptology. Protected as a Monument Historique, the property, acquired by the Département de l'Isère, bears witness to the Dauphiné sojourns of the two brothers. Everything about the place bears witness to their presence and keeps their memory alive: the shadows of the park they loved, the mansion and its interior decor, the furniture, objets d'art and personal effects of the two men, preserved by their descendants. In order to perpetuate the work of memory initiated by the family, the Département de l'Isère has undertaken an ambitious architectural, landscaping and museographic project to give this place of memory an influence worthy of the Champollion brothers. Labelled a Musée de France in 2020, it invites visitors on a journey from the banks of the Isère to the banks of the Nile.
