musee de la vie bourguignonne

一座古老的建筑里，丰富的绘画、雕塑、手工艺品、生活用品展示了勃艮第公爵征战时代的辉煌，显示第戎及勃艮第地区曾在欧洲政治舞台上举足轻重的地位。参观博物馆需要存包，但存包点就是一个帆布围成的大筐，建议将贵重物品随身携带。

One of the most informative and well=designed museums we have visited. An excellent overview of Burgundian life, domestic scenes, costumes and customs. Displays were informative, and illustrated with small cartoons as well as descriptive labels - not the usual typed labels, but suspended, hand-written , brief swirling transparent mini-banners above the relevant articles. Easily comprehensible to even a minimalist French speaker.

A very lovingly put-together museum depicting life in the Burgundy region (mainly Dijon) throughout history. Excellent for all ages.

I loved this museum, I felt as a child. A fantastic idea to show the life, habits and customs of old Dijon to new generations and tourists.

Interesting small vignettes set up to show shops of everyday life. This is a musuem that children would also enjoy. This is off the beaten path, definitely worth a visit, not crowded.

Great idea saving old Dijon for future generations. Similar exists in UK but We could learn a lot from this In Stratford upon Avon

very interessting information about former life in Burgundy. nice decorated and presented. It seems to be a museum which could also be interessting for children. The pulicity for this museum could be better seen the quality of the exibition. Nevertheless I don't how they present the information for not french speakers...

I love the smaller French museums of this type, so lovingly done. The written English guide for the entry floor with the mannequins in Burgundian dress and scenes was hard to follow. One flight up, however, the English guide telling about the shops and the lives of their owners was quite eloquent and fascinating. I have NO French, but still enjoyed this museum a lot and wish we'd had more time for it.

Stopped to have a look on our owl trail walk. Free entry, but if time is a constraint, I feel there are other more interesting places to see.

Housed in a former convent, and with a Museum of sacred Art next door, this museum is a treasure trove of folkways and the history of ordinary people of Burgundy. Displays with mannequins depict marriage, childhood, trades and customs. There are furnished rooms, vitrines of tools, cooking implements, toys, mock-ups of traditional shops. Full of information without being cluttered. I would give it 5 stars except that while you can get a booklet in English, the descriptions on the displays are in French only. Still, a good way to learn that un trébuchet was the device used by pharmacists to weigh out compounding ingredients, and un martinet was used to strike naughty children (enfants pas sages)....

We really liked this museum and its free. Definitely worth a visit and persist to find it - the downside is that the entrance door is not that easy to find. A little plaque directs you to a plain pale blue door and you open it, and you are there. But it's not obvious. However the museum is good, particularly level 1. We would prefer more in English and found the English guide we were given a little hard to read in the gloomy light downstairs. Still recommended for an hour or so.

This was an extremely interesting museum of various implements and inventions. I never expected it to be so large and interesting. The museum gave a great glimpse of life in Burgundy. There were also displays of many coifffes and bonnets, as well as an old pharmacy and a mustard shop.

This was for me the most interesting museum of all, covering all aspects of everyday life, beautifully displayed in an old convent. It is also right next door to the Museum of Sacred Art. Take the city bus to St. Anne and it drops you off just a few steps away. Make sure you visit.

Really interesting and the volunteers are knowledgeable and eager to share details on the exhibits. A passing knowledge of French helps as the younger staff, like most of France, tend to know some English but the older docents are, quite reasonably, French through and through. My personal fave was old baby buggy and the packaging and marketing from decades past.

The museum is a little tucked away but well worth the detour. The receptionist handed us a guide in English and off we went, the layout on then upper floors is a little confusing at times, but guide book explains it well. This isn't an interactive museum you do have to look at the exhibits and interpret them yourself.
