Dijon Museum of Sacred Art (Musée d'Art Sacré)

The Museum of Sacred Art is housed in the church of the former Bernardine Convent and contains works of art, sculptures, paintings, textiles and gold and silver plate from the 12C to the 20C. The church itself is remarkable for its unusual architecture. The Museum contains sculptures, paintings, furniture and liturgical vases relinquished by the Church on the occasion of various religious reforms. The tribunes, which are open to the public during guided visits, include a major collection of liturgical vestments and ornaments, for the most part from the 18C and 19C.
