Musée François Pompon, Art museum in Saulieu, France.

The Musée François Pompon is an art museum housed in a 17th-century building next to the Saint-Andoche Basilica, with a focus on animal sculptures and artworks. The rooms display Gallo-Roman stone carvings, medieval statuary, and a traditional kitchen that shows how people in the region once lived.

In 1930 the municipality created the Musée d'ethnologie du Morvan in a 17th-century former presbytery adjoining the Saint-Andoche Basilica. In 1932 François Pompon, trained by Auguste Rodin and Pierre Louis Rouillard, chose a room there for a museum devoted to him. He died on 6 May 1933 and left 300 works to France; the new Musée François-Pompon was inaugurated on 22 July 1934 at the site he had chosen.

The collections display animal sculptures and regional objects that reflect how people here have lived and worked. These works show the craft and traditions that have mattered to the community for generations.

The museum occupies a 17th-century former presbytery adjoining the Saint-Andoche Basilica, with the ground floor covering archaeology and folk traditions and the upper floor given to Pompon's animal sculptures. Temporary exhibitions, lectures and a shop are also part of the visit.

Pompon trained under Auguste Rodin and Pierre Louis Rouillard. Dying childless in 1933, he left 300 works to France; they were first kept at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, then at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, before the Saulieu museum opened on 22 July 1934.
