This collection features the Dijon Museum of Fine Arts, one of France's oldest museums, and the specialized aviation and motor collections at Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune. Visitors can explore literary history at Colette’s birthplace or the diverse archaeological and fine art holdings at Musée Vivant Denon. From sacred art in Paray-le-Monial to botanical science in Dijon, these sites highlight the region's historical and artistic evolution.
