Musée François Pompon, Art museum in Saulieu, France.
The museum occupies a 17th-century mansion next to the Saint-Andoche Basilica, displaying sculptures and artworks focused on animal representations.
The museum opened in 1930 after François Pompon selected a room in the municipal building to showcase his artistic work collection.
The collections feature numerous animal sculptures, Gallo-Roman steles, medieval statuary, and a traditional Morvan kitchen representing regional heritage.
The establishment welcomes visitors daily except Monday afternoons and Tuesdays, with free admission on Sundays and for children under 18.
The museum contains original sketches and sculptures of the White Bear, created in 1922, which brought international recognition to François Pompon.
