 "The municipal museum is housed in the former convent of the Jacobins. Originally, was a school of drawing and sculpture founded in 1833.
The following year, the painter Étienne Bouhot, a native of Bard-les-Époisses, returned to his native land and took the direction of the school. Through his relationships, he receives from his artist-friends works that serve as models for his students.
Little by little, these donations constitute a nucleus that will expand with the archaeological collections coming in particular from the excavations of Alésia and the sources of the Seine.
Three members of the local learned society: MM. Collenot, Brèon and Bochard offer the museum more than 10,000 geological samples collected locally in Auxois.
Subsequently, a painting room and sculpture is opened and the museum is enriched with the original "Genius of the Bastille" offered by the Parisian statuary: Auguste Dumont.
There is also the molding of the head of Vercingetorix, statufié by Millet to Alésia. "

 "Le musée municipal est installé dans l'ancien couvent des Jacobins.A l'origine, était une école de dessin et de sculpture fondée en 1833.
L'année suivante,, le peintre Étienne Bouhot, originaire de Bard-les-Époisses, revient sur ses terres natales et prend la direction de l'école. Grâce à ses relations, il reçoit de ses amis-artistes des oeuvres qui servent de modèles à ses élèves.
Petit à petit, ces dons constituent un noyau qui va s'étoffer avec les collections archéologiques provenant notamment des fouilles d'Alésia et des sources de la Seine.
Trois membres de la Société savant locale: MM. Collenot,Brèon et Bochard offrent au musée plus de 10 000 échantillons géologiques recueillis localement dans l'Auxois.
Par la suite, une salle de peinture et de sculpture est ouverte et le musée s'enrichit de l'original du "Génie de la Bastille" offert par le statuaire parisien: Auguste Dumont.
