  • 3/5 Brian T. 5 years ago on Google
    Ok. The collection is rather uninspiring. Minor pieces by minor or unknown artists. Admission is priced accordingly (3.50). Staff was pleasant. Nothing to go out of your way for but If you have nothing else to do it is worth a visit. In and out in under 60 minutes.

    (Translated by Google) I would have been sorry not to visit the Magnin museum on this mild winter day. The Magnin Museum is the gift of an art lover. Museum on a human scale. Just a small observation..,.. it is sometimes difficult to read the names of the works. An explanatory label near each painting without us having to look would be very appreciable (and especially no sheet to keep during the whole visit with the titles....) (Original) J'aurais été chagrin de ne pas visiter le musée Magnin en cette douce journée d'hiver. Le musée Magnin, c'est le don d'un amoureux des arts. Musée à dimension humaine. Juste une petite observation..,..il est parfois difficile de lire les noms des oeuvres. Une étiquette explicative à proximité de chaque tableau sans que nous ayons à nous pencher serait très appréciable ( et surtout pas de feuille à tenir durant toute la visite avec les intitulés....)

    (Translated by Google) Magnificent mansion with a very beautiful and large collection of works of art. Splendid rooms (especially the 1st floor). Reminds of private mansions / museums like Nissim de Camondo or Jacquemart-André in Paris. To do absolutely if you like pretty things! (Original) Magnifique hôtel particulier regroupant une très belle et large collection d'œuvres d'art. Pièces splendides (surtout le 1e étage). Fait penser aux hôtels particuliers / musées comme Nissim de Camondo ou Jacquemart-André à Paris. A faire absolument si l'on aime les jolies choses!

  • 5/5 The Aardvark A. 4 years ago on Google
    An exquisite little gem of a place. The Magnin's had superb taste in Art and it was a privilege to step inside one of the mansions dotted around Dijon. The Magnins bought Art that they loved and they had a great eye. Not big name pieces but almost all I'd happily have taken home! Some of the rooms are decorated in historic style and some are particularly pretty - you can fully imagine an elegant dijonnaise lady floating around in them! Tickets cost €3.50 and include an audio guide (ours was in English) that has some thoughts written by the Magnin's which are well worth listening to. We almost missed visiting this lovely place and I don't think the guidebooks do it justice. I would very highly recommend the Musée Magnin  and would love to go back and spend a few hours gazing at the beautiful Art.

    €3.50. Dull aristocratic 20 rooms of old stuff on display. No air conditioner or ventilation to help with the heat. Kind of a miserable uninspiring 20-30min.

    A beautifully designed museum where the rooms were furnished in old styles. Not to overwhelming with paintings, and a lot of pretty and interesting ones. Would have loved to have text about the paintings in English!

    Small wonderful museum in the center of Dijon. For a small price we got a lot of fun. Mostly paintings from the 17th-18th centuries are collected. You can take a guide to the museum in several languages ​​completely free of charge. And the building itself is interesting from an architectural point of view with a nice courtyard.

  • 5/5 Przemek K. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice museum in one of Dijon's mansions (hotel particulier) with a nice small collection of Bourgonese art throughout the centuries, collected by the owner of the house in the first half of 20th century. It's quite interesting how much interesting art was available, presumably for not that much, in this period.

    Small but lovely museum with beautiful drawings and a stunning terracotta maquette attributed to Bernini. Very helpful staff. Well worth a visit.
