Musée de la Vie bourguignonne
Musée de la Vie bourguignonne Perrin de Puycousin
A free folk museum housed in a former convent, recreating 19th-century Dijon shopping streets, traditional costumes and farm life. A great place to understand everyday life in Burgundy.
The museum occupies a 17th-century convent of the Bernardine nuns. The ground floor displays traditional costumes, headdresses, and wedding and funeral customs from rural Burgundy. The upper floor recreates a 19th- and 20th-century Dijon shopping street, with a pharmacy, a hat shop, a general store, and shop windows from old mustard and gingerbread makers. A small exhibition covers Dijon's food industry. The religious art museum in the same complex displays church liturgical objects. Both museums are free, and both are closed on Tuesdays. The museum is a 10-minute walk from Place de la Libération.
