A museum dedicated to the arts of the table, with a new exhibition every year. Housed in a hospice.
If you love Burgundy, then perhaps you also love French food and wine? If so, good news for you, because this museum, the only one of its kind in France, is not to be missed. It's a museum that explains the evolution of the art of the table in France, complete with collector's items. Housed in the Hospices Saint-Pierre, a 17th-century building surrounded by rose gardens, the museum is rich in history and unique exhibits. It presents remarkable exhibitions on the arts of the table. Each year, a new exhibition is presented: in 2024, it is entitled "Exceptional tableware and unusual creations" and runs from early May to mid-November. The exhibition is the perfect opportunity to showcase the museum's luxury pieces within its gigantic collections. Porcelain pieces from major factories, enamels and, of course, metal tableware are inevitably featured in this atypical temporary exhibition. Over the last few centuries, tableware has undergone many changes. That's why some of today's most unusual serving pieces are also on display and explained. Take advantage of your visit to Arnay-le-Duc to admire the museum's permanent exhibition of just over 6,000 pieces. It's all housed in an unusual location, appreciated for its calm and serenity.
