Tombeaux des Ducs de Bourgogne, State room in Palais des Ducs, Dijon, France.

The Great Hall measures 18 by 9 meters with a height of 9 meters and features a monumental fireplace added in 1504.

The room, constructed between 1450 and 1455 under Duke Philip III of Burgundy, housed the tombs of Dukes Philippe le Hardi and Jean sans Peur from 1827.

The tombs display 82 alabaster sculptures of mourners created by artists Claus Sluter, Claus de Werve, Jean de la Huerta, and Antoine Le Moiturier.

The hall, part of the Fine Arts Museum of Dijon, contains medieval ceremonial tombs with restored polychrome decorations and gilding.

Seventy-five original mourner statues, each expressing individual gestures of grief, stand in niches beneath carved arcades around the ducal tombs.
