The Fondation Pierre Gianadda in Martigny, Valais, is a remarkable cultural foundation with many facets.
Inaugurated in 1978, the Fondation Pierre Gianadda manages museums and exhibitions in Martigny. The permanent exhibitions include the Automobile Museum, the Gallo-Roman Museum, the Louis and Evelyn Franck Collection, the Sculpture Park and the Chagall Court.
The foundation was built around the remains of a Celtic temple discovered in 1976. It presents important archaeological finds from Martigny, including the famous Great Bronzes, discovered in 1883.

Hiking

The hermetic, safe-like exhibition hall, a concrete building from the late 1970s, houses three permanent exhibitions: the Gallo-Roman Museum of Martigny's early history, individual paintings from classic private collection and a small vintage car collection of 50 cars from the years of construction 1897-1939, including rare exhibits of Swiss car manufacturers.
Significant is the collection of classic-modern sculptures in the surrounding park and often there are high-profile solo exhibitions. Nearby is a small Roman amphitheater.
