Museum
The Magnin Museum is housed in the Hôtel de Lantin, one of the most beautiful 17th-century private mansions in Dijon. It owes its existence to two passionate collectors: Jeanne and Maurice Magnin who assembled a remarkable collection of paintings, drawings and objects which they donated to the state in 1938. According to their wishes, the museum has retained the atmosphere of a private collection and a lived-in home. It displays works from the Italian School, Schools of the North and the French School, from the end of the 16th century to the middle of the 19th century. Remarkable paintings by Sébastien Bourdon, Laurent de La Hyre and Eustache Le Sueur particularly evoke Parisian art from the early part of the 17th century. The originality of this collection and its elegant setting make it a place of delight in the heart of historic Dijon.
