===Museum of Grenoble=== The city's most prized museum, the [[Museum of Grenoble]] (''Musée de Grenoble''), welcomes {{formatnum:200000}} visitors a year. It is primarily renowned for its extensive paintings collection, which covers Western paintings from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. In the early 20th century, the Museum of Grenoble became the first French museum to open its collections to modern art, and its collection of modern and contemporary art has grown to become one of the largest in Europe. The painting holdings include works by painters such as [[Paolo Veronese|Veronese]], [[Rubens]], [[Zurbarán]], [[Ingres]], [[Eugène Delacroix|Delacroix]], [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir|Renoir]], [[Paul Gauguin|Gauguin]], [[Paul Signac|Signac]], [[Claude Monet|Monet]], [[Henri Matisse|Matisse]], [[Picasso]], [[Wassily Kandinsky|Kandinsky]], [[Joan Miró]], [[Paul Klee]], [[Giorgio de Chirico]] and [[Andy Warhol]]. The museum also presents a few Egyptian antiquities as well as Greek and Roman artifacts. The Sculpture collection features works by [[Auguste Rodin]], [[Matisse]], [[Alberto Giacometti]] and [[Alexander Calder]]. In April 2010, the ''prophetess of Antinoe'', a 6th-century mummy discovered in 1907 in the [[Copts|Coptic]] [[necropolis]] of [[Antinopolis|Antinoe]] in Middle Egypt, returned to the Museum of Grenoble, after more than fifty years of absence and extensive restoration.
