Museum presenting collections of instruments and art objects from the late century, with realistic settings

The Musée de la Vie bourguignonne was founded in 1938 by the collector Maurice Bonnefond Perrin de Puycousin, originally in the Hôtel Aubriot, rue des Forges. It was moved to the former Bernardine monastery in 1985. The museum opens onto a magnificent cloister. On the ground floor of the buildings are presented collections of instruments and art objects from the late 19th century. One discovers realistic stagings with wax figures for a total immersion in scenes of life of the time. It is on the first floor that you can really discover the Burgundian atmosphere of the time by discovering ten fully reconstructed shops: a pharmacy, a sweet shop, a furrier's stall, a butcher's shop... Iron boxes stand alongside the butcher's instruments and stone figures. A pleasant stroll through the commercial life of the time. The second floor is devoted to regional objects through the art of earthenware, cooking, stonework ... You will also be able to admire interesting paintings on the life of Dijon. An audiovisual room and a small reading room complete your visit. Finally, to find out about all the temporary exhibitions and themed tours of the year, visit the museum's website and don't forget to book if you are in a group for a real guided tour. It's a real plunge into the Burgundian life of yesteryear that awaits you!

Musée très sympathique, abordable y compris pour des enfants. La reconstitution de la vie bourguignonne d'autrefois est très intéressante, les enfants apprécient particulièrement les reconstitutions de vitrines de boutiques à l'étage. Et puis le cadre est magnifique!

Accueil super sympa. LA reconstitution de la vie des Bourguignons au XIXème est intéressante et la présentation originale et le premier étage avec reconstitution d'authentiques boutiques de Dijon est très très intéressant. Tout cela passionnera les petits et les grands ! LE personnel est très sympa et passionné par son travail. JE recommande !
