Open since 1957, the Grande Chartreuse museum bears witness to the life of the Carthusians. The first monks settled in the valley in 1087 before gradually developing and shaping it. As the monastery is not accessible to the public, this museum provides a good overview of their way of life.

Located 5 minutes by bike downstream from the monastery, this museum was created in the old Correrie and is dedicated to the history of the Carthusian order.
