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. The chemistry of 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!
