What is Musée des Beaux-Arts de Chambéry

The musée des Beaux-Arts de Chambéry, on place du Palais de Justice, splits its offer cleanly: the permanent collections are free, and temporary exhibitions cost €5.50 full price, €2.50 reduced. On the first Sunday of each month, entry is free — exhibitions included.

The museum opens Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00–18:00, and closes on Mondays and public holidays — the city publishes both, where other museums open on holidays.

For regulars, an annual pass covers both the Beaux-Arts and Les Charmettes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau's house: €11 for Chambéry residents, €17 for others, with guided visits, lectures and audioguides included.
