Musée Perrin de Puycousin, Regional museum in Monastère des Bernardines, Dijon, France.
The Musée Perrin de Puycousin is a regional museum housed in the Monastère des Bernardines that exhibits ethnographic objects, rural items, and regional costumes from the 19th century. The collections offer a window into everyday Burgundian life during that period.
The museum was founded in 1938 by Maurice Bonnefond Perrin de Puycousin at the Hotel Aubriot and later moved to the Bernardines Monastery in 1984. This relocation allowed the collections to expand and adapt to the monastery's distinctive spaces.
Eleven reconstructed shops display how people shopped and worked in old Dijon, with a pharmacy, grocery store, butcher shop, clockmaker, and toy store among them. Walking through these spaces shows the daily rhythms of neighborhood commerce and craft trades.
The museum occupies a former Cistercian monastery with good natural light and quiet rooms for exploration. Plan your visit to enjoy a comfortable pace through the displays and reconstructed spaces.
The museum holds an extensive research collection including thousands of books and detailed photograph archives on Burgundian heritage. This documentation allows visitors to discover deeper information about the region's past.
