Located in the transept of the former Saint-Etienne church, this museum houses casts by Dijon sculptor François Rude
The Musée Rude is housed in the transept of the former Eglise Saint-Etienne, whose choir foundations date back to the 11th century. Here, you can admire casts by the famous Dijon sculptor François Rude, whose birthplace is located on the eponymous square. Among his major works, the monumental allegorical relief Le Départ des volontaires, known as La Marseillaise, dated 1792 and visible on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, impresses the curious. Other notable and original works by this figure of Romanticism are on display, such as Le Réveil de Napoléon.
