Visits recorded in the Departmental Museums

# **attendance of museums of the Department of Isère** * * * * ** ** Since its creation, the museum network of the Department of Isère has evolved over the years (redevelopment of permanent routes, opening of new museums) to stabilise at 11 museums in 2021. Its particularity? **free** and **diversity** of all sites! Rich in prestigious collections, these 11 museums are all housed in exceptional heritage buildings often protected as historical monuments. They present to visitors the great diversity of the Iseroese heritage, whether archaeological, industrial, rural or artistic. They also offer workshops, conferences, meetings, temporary exhibitions, screenings and many other animations. As part of the departmental network, they have been working together for several years to promote a common theme. After the year Lesdiguières in 2017, the departmental museums lived on Japanese time in 2018, and responded to the “Call of the Forest in Isère” in 2021-2022. * * * * _List of 11 departmental museums:_ * __House Bergès in Villard-Bonnot * Musée de l’Ancien Évêché in Grenoble * Arcabas Museum in Chartreuse * Saint-Laurent Archaeological Museum in Grenoble * Champollion Museum in Vif * Dauphinois Museum in Grenoble * Hébert Museum in La Tronche * Hector-Berlioz Museum in La Côte-Saint-André * Museum of Resistance and Deportation in Isère in Grenoble * Domaine de Vizille – Museum of the French Revolution in Vizille * Museum of Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye * * * * ## **museums and their attendance** ** **The figures provided since 2007 include all visits, whether they were carried out in a “free” setting, whether they are commented visits or school visits, or whether they correspond to entrances to attend shows or animations. Each visitor is counted, whether they came individually or in groups. The data are communicated over a monthly step of time. To facilitate the interpretation of these data, several factors must be taken into account because the seasonality of museum attendance is multifactorial. It is explained in particular by: The seasonal closure of some museums: * Domaine de Vizille – Museum of the French Revolution: a week between Christmas and New Year’s Day * Museum of Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye: January-February The impact of the success of some temporary exhibitions The impact of museum closures during the COVID-19 health crisis (March-April 2020 and November 2020-19 May 2021). These imposed closures inevitably led to a significant reduction in attendance figures for 2020 and 2021. > # For more information do not hesitate to consult the [portal of departmental museums](https://musees.isere.fr/).
