Presentation
About |
From the Hôtel-Dieu to the Hospices Civils de Beaune, discover the history of this iconic heritage site in the Duchy of Burgundy. The building, designed by its founders in 1443, was gradually expanded over the centuries by benefactors who wanted to accommodate more patients and adapt the site's facilities to advances in healthcare.
Each era saw major changes. The 19th century was marked by significant medical advances, the creation of the Hospices de Beaune wine auction, and the first restoration work on the medieval hospital. This period saw the modernisation of healthcare, the development of financial resources and the promotion of the Hôtel-Dieu's heritage.
As you walk through the historic rooms, appreciate the interior design, observe the everyday objects, study the medical instruments, discover the collections, and let yourself be carried away by the MOVEMENT(S) of centuries of activity, an expression of a living hospital heritage.
INFORMATION
As part of the “Hôtel-Dieu 2043” project and the study and restoration project on the “Last Judgement” polyptych, the polyptych gallery will be closed to the public from 15 to 24 July inclusive.
