The chemistry Museum
The museum traces the history, techniques and applications of the chemical industry in southern Grenoble from 1915 to the present day.
Self-guided tour, guided tour or audioguide via the Tellnoo app.
Located in Jarrie, on the first floor of the town hall, in the heart of the Clos Jouvin municipal park, the museum is set in the preserved environment of the old, cool, vaulted cellars of the manor house. The tour presents the history of chemistry since antiquity, and traces the history, techniques and applications of the chemical industry in southern Grenoble, from 1915 to the present day. Chemistry in the 21st century, omnipresent in our daily lives and essential to meeting the challenges of sustainable development, is more innovative and responsible than ever.
The tour route, completely renovated in 2014, is punctuated by new open-access workbenches: build a Volta cell, perform electrolysis or operate a fuel cell!
A video consultation area and a library are available to the public. A new mediation and exhibition room allows you to visit the Chemistry Museum according to its programming. Until December 2023, you can discover the interactive exhibition "When chemistry enlightens us".
Additional equipment: audioguide with Tellnoo application (application downloadable free of charge from your smartphone).
