Despite it being a small museum; only two rooms, it's still super splendid! You can see in the photos the beauty of the statues inside! I really recommend passing by and having a look there. Such a special city; dijon!

5 stars

Super super tiny, one main room with sculpture and the other is the ruins of the church. If you know that going in then you'll be fine but don't expect a lot to keep you busy! The huge sculpture is really impressive and worth seeing if you're around.

So interesting! But really small. Seems like it's inside an old church
