Champollion Museum

About

The Champollion de Vif Museum, also known as the Champollion House or the Ombrages Estate, is a museum of history in the Isère department located in the family home of Jacques-Joseph Champollion, brother of the Egyptologist Jean-François Champollion. It is dedicated to the memory of these two characters and in particular to the birth of Egyptology. Open temporarily from 2004 to 2005, it was then closed for complete renovation and expansion before reopening to the public on 5 June 2021.

Labelled "Musée de France" in 2020, the announcement of its opening was made at the 12th International Egyptian Congress in Cairo in November 2019. It is the eleventh departmental museum of Isère.
