  • 1/4/23 Very interesting museum in a former hospital that was in use up to 1984! Tells the story of how the hospital worked over time and daily life there. Also a must visit for medieval art and architecture enthusiasts as the place is full of it. Displays are informative with the provision of an audio guide which can be in English and French.
  • Super place. Well worth an hour away from the wine in Beaune. Beautiful building and interesting displays in an old hospital. Audio guide and plan provided. Good value.
