Surplombant la vallée de l’Isère, sous les contreforts du massif du Vercors, Le Couvent des Carmes et les vestiges du palais delphinal du 14e siècle forment un site patrimonial classé Monuments Historiques.
Magnifiquement restauré en 2009, le site abrite une exposition patrimoniale sur l’histoire des Dauphins et des Carmes. Vous découvrirez l’étonnante collection de César Filhol, initiateur du classement des vestiges au titre des Monuments historiques en 1922, dont de nombreux objets témoignant de la vie au 19e siècle.
Le Couvent des Carmes abrite également des espaces d'expositions temporaires et l’exposition permanente consacrée à l’œuvre du peintre néerlandais Bob Ten Hoope.
L’atmosphère unique du Couvent des Carmes se poursuit dehors avec sa cour toute en lumière, son jardin d’inspiration médiévale et son verger conservatoire aux 300 arbres fruitiers rares et anciens.
Une programmation culturelle (animations, concerts, spectacles ... ) est proposée durant toute la saison et notamment lors des grands rendez-vous nationaux comme Musées en fête, Nuit des Musées, Rendez-vous aux jardins et les Journées Européennes du Patrimoine.
