To enjoy the temporary art exhibition, the Car Museum, the Gallo-Roman section and the Sculpture Park, we recommend setting aside between 2 and 3 hours. It is a place with a lot of varied content that deserves to be seen at a leisurely pace.

It is a unique site built literally on the ruins of a Gallo-Roman temple discovered in 1976, blending ancient archaeology with top-tier modern art (Picasso, Chagall, etc.). The foundation is a world reference for the quality of its exhibitions and its distinctive architecture.

Weekday mornings tend to be the quietest for avoiding crowds in the galleries. Spring and summer are ideal for making the most of the spectacular open-air sculpture garden without getting cold.

Yes, the Gianadda Foundation is fully adapted and accessible for wheelchairs (some are available to borrow) and strollers. There are ramps and lifts that provide access to all levels, including the underground museum and the gardens.

Just a few steps away you'll find the ancient Roman Amphitheatre of Martigny and the famous Saint Bernard dog museum, known as Barryland. Combining both visits is highly recommended for a full day of history and culture.

Don't forget to visit the basement to see the collection of vintage cars, which sometimes goes unnoticed, and use an audio guide to understand the history of the Roman temple you are walking over. You can plan your route with local tourism information here: Martigny Tourism.
