The Champollion Museum (French: Musée Champollion) is a French historical museum located in Vif in the family home of the Champollion brothers.[1] It presents the daily life of the discoverer of Egyptian hieroglyphs and that of his brother Jacques Joseph while they lived in Grenoble.[2]
The museum opened temporarily in 2004 during the ninth International Conference of Egyptology in Grenoble. It was then closed for renovation. It reopened on June 5, 2021.[3] In February 2020, the museum was named a Musée de France by the Minister of Culture.[4]
The Louvre stores 85 Egyptian objects in this museum.
