The Grande Chartreuse, founded by St Bruno in 1084, is a major destination in the Alps. Located in an annexe of the Monastery, the Museum is an insight into their Great Silence and the way of life of these monks. Come and experiment their faith, and try to unravel the mystery of their 900 year history, thanks to this truly monastic setting complete with historical illustrations, artefacts and models of Carthusian monasteries.
I visited the Museum on a Saturday as a day trip from Geneva (I also went to the Chatreuse distillery in Voiron, had lunch in Grenoble, and stopped in Chambery on the way back). This was the unexpected highlight of the day. The Museum explains the life of the Cartesian order (the brothers live in another monastery about 2 km away that you cannot visit) in a way that is clearly accessible to visitors regardless of their familiarity with religious doctrine and ritual. The audio tour was available in English (I can read French, but I don't really understand spoken French). Do as the monks and nuns of the order do and give yourself some time to contemplate the museum and its setting in silence - you won't regret it.
