Musée Paul-Dini, Modern art museum in Villefranche-sur-Saône, France.

The Musée Paul-Dini spans across two exhibition spaces: the Grenette space, a former grain hall, and the Cornil space, a converted textile factory.

Founded in 1863 under Mayor Jean-Baptiste Boiron and lawyer Loyson de Chastelus, the museum received significant donations from Muguette and Paul Dini in 2001.

The museum presents over 1,400 artworks, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, and drawings from artists connected to the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region since 1810.

Located 20 minutes north of Lyon, the museum offers annual passes, guided Sunday tours, and maintains an art library containing more than 6,000 specialized books.

Through the museum's artothèque, members can borrow original contemporary artworks, including prints, photographs, paintings, and drawings for personal display at home.
