Birth of the Pierre Gianadda Foundation
Inaugurated in 1978, the Foundation was established by Léonard Gianadda as a place to combine several disciplines, including an archaeological museum, temporary exhibitions and concerts. It was created in memory of Pierre Gianadda, Léonard’s brother, who died in a plane crash. The Foundation is located where Roman remains were discovered while plans were being made to site the building.
Public recognition
Over the years, thanks to the motivation and skill of its founder, the Pierre Gianadda Foundation has gained a solid reputation in the art world. In forty years, the Martignerain museum has welcomed nearly ten million visitors.
The current offer
The life of the Foundation is punctuated by permanent and temporary exhibitions and by a dozen concerts per year. Its aims remain the same:
To preserve and enhance the remains of the Gallo-Roman temple discovered in 1976 in Martigny;
To provide the Cantonal Museums Service with premises to exhibit Roman objects discovered in Martigny and manage the Gallo-Roman Museum;
To use the exhibition halls and plots of land made available for cultural promotion;
To contribute generally to the cultural and tourist development of Martigny.
