Museum of Burgundian Life
About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of Dijon's historic center, the Museum of Burgundian Life invites you to step back in time within the serene walls of a former Bernardine monastery. Forget dusty, impersonal displays; this is a place that feels deeply human, telling the story of the region not through grand battles but through the everyday objects and traditions of its people. You'll wander through rooms filled with beautifully crafted furniture and get a real sense of how families lived, worked, and celebrated across the centuries. The sheer variety of regional costumes is particularly stunning, each intricate piece speaking volumes about local identity and craftsmanship.
Collection Highlights
The collection truly shines with its vast array of traditional Burgundian costumes and elaborate headdresses, alongside meticulously recreated period rooms like a rustic kitchen and a cozy bourgeois living area.

You'll find it at 17 Rue Sainte-Anne, an easy stroll from the famous Owl's Trail. It's closed on Tuesdays, so plan your visit accordingly for a peaceful exploration away from the crowds.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a beautiful 17th-century stone monastery, where you can still feel the tranquil atmosphere of its cloisters and vaulted ceilings.
