Musee des Beaux-Arts de Dijon. The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon is a museum of fine arts opened in 1787 in Dijon, France.
It is housed in the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy in the historic center of Dijon. Being one of the oldest museums in France, the Museum of Fine Arts in Dijon was founded in 1787 during the Age of Enlightenment.
It is known for its collections in relation with the dukes of Burgundy, for the richness of its encyclopedic collections stretching from Egyptian art to the 20th century as well as the historical interest of the building that holds them, the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy. The history of the Fine Arts Museum goes back to the creation of the art school by François Devosge in 1766.
His collections, which have been presented within the Museum since 1787, represent the beginnings of the museum's collections. It was initially made up of two rooms, the Statues Room-intended for sculpture, and the Salon Condé-for paintings, which celebrate the glory of the Condés, governors of Burgundy.
It is located in the former palace of the Dukes of Burgundy and in the eastern part of the Palace of the Estates. The museum opened its doors to the public in 1799 and gradually spread out within the palace being enriched by imperial grants, deposits by the State, donations and legacies.
