Musée Magnin, Art museum in Dijon, France.
The Musée Magnin occupies a 17th-century townhouse and displays roughly 2,000 artworks across its rooms. Paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects span centuries and fill the spaces like they did in a private home.
The townhouse was built between 1652 and 1681 for a wealthy Dijon family. Maurice and Jeanne Magnin donated their art collection to France in 1938, transforming it into a museum.
The collection focuses on French paintings and sculptures from the 16th to 19th centuries, displayed as if in a private art collection. Visitors experience how wealthy patrons once arranged and lived with their artworks.
Plan your visit for weekday mornings to see the galleries at a quieter pace. Audio guides are available in several languages to help you understand the artworks better.
The museum refuses to lend any artworks or add new pieces to its collection. This strict approach keeps the exhibition exactly as the Magnins created it, frozen in time.
