Entrance to the Museum of the French Revolution.

The Musée de la Révolution française ("Museum of the French Revolution") is the only French museum that traces the time of the French Revolution . Inaugurated on July 13, 1984 for the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Revolution, it is located in Vizille Castle , where the Dauphiné Estates General took place on July 21, 1788 . The building was also a residence of the Presidents of the French Republic. The museum sees itself as a history museum based on works of art.

The library (documentation center) is named after Albert Soboul , whose teaching and publications have profoundly shaped the discipline and who was elected President of the Museum's Scientific Council on June 23, 1982, less than three months before his death.
