The Musée Rolin is an art museum in Autun, Burgundy, France.
Created in 1878 on the initiative of the Société éduenne, it is located on the site of the former home of Chancellor Nicolas Rolin. Its collections range from Gallo-Roman archaeology to 20th century painting, and are spread over more than twenty rooms. The museum's collections[1] are divided into four departments:[2] archaeology, medieval art, regional history and fine arts (17th to 20th century). It is classified as a "Museum of France", and remains the headquarters of the Société éduenne.[3]
