Museums and art in Dijon

Dijon’s artistic heritage is anchored by the Musée des Beaux-Arts, housed in the monumental Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy. The collection spans from medieval masterpieces to the contemporary installations at Le Consortium. Specialized museums offer deeper insights, including the Musée Rude’s focus on 19th-century sculpture and the Musée de la Vie Bourguignonne’s folklore exhibits. Many collections are housed in historic structures, such as the 18th-century baroque Église Sainte-Anne and the 17th-century Bernardine monastery.
