Musee Rude is one of Dijon’s most sought-out attractions by art and history aficionados. House in a part of the former Eglise Saint-Etienne of Dijon, the 11th century architecture of the building itself is one of the key aspects you should take in during your visit. The museum is dedicated to renowned French sculptor, Francois Rude, who is best known for the Le Marseillaise on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The museum displays life-size plaster casts and several other works which were once exhibited in the Louvre and other museums all around France. Other works you’ll see include a bust of Francois Rude by his pupil, sculptor Paul Cabet, mathematician Gaspard Monge, and a piece of Joan of Arc hearing voices.
