The Old Bishop's Palace Museum, or Musée de l'Ancien Évêché, is a fascinating museum dedicated to the history and heritage of the Isère department. Housed in the former episcopal palace, the museum offers a journey through time, from prehistoric times to the modern era. One of its most remarkable features is the archaeological crypt, which contains the remains of a 4th-century baptistery, one of the oldest Christian sites in France. The museum's exhibits include artifacts, documents, and interactive displays that bring the region's past to life. The building itself is a historic monument, with beautiful architecture and a peaceful garden.
