Located on Boulevard Longchamp, in front of Palais Longchamp, the Musée Grobet-Labadié takes its name from the Labadié-Grobet family, who in 1919 donated the hôtel particulier and its extensive art collection to the city.

The museum is housed in a refined 19th-century building, designed by architect Gabriel Clauzel for Alexandre Labadié (1814–1892) and conceived as an example of bourgeois taste and comfort. Since 1925 it has been open to the public and since 2003 it has been recognized as a “Musée de France”; it was classified as a historical monument in 2022.

The collections tell a true “history of taste” through over 7,000 objects: 18th-century furniture, carpets and tapestries from the manufactories of Tournai, Flandres, Brussels, and Gobelins, faïences from Moustiers and Compagnie des Indes, paintings, drawings, musical instruments, stained glass, and curiosities.
