Located in the transept of the former Saint-Etienne church, this museum houses casts by Dijon sculptor François Rude
The Musée Rude is discreetly located in the transept of the former Église Saint-Étienne, whose choir foundations date back to the 11th century. Here, casts by the famous Dijon sculptor François Rude take pride of place. Among his major works is the monumental allegorical relief Le Départ des volontaires, known as La Marseillaise, dated 1792 and seen on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which impresses with the quality of the expressions shown. Other notable and original works by this figure of Romanticism are also on display, such as Le Réveil de Napoléon.

Members' reviews on RUDE MUSEUM
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
They have a replica or a model for one of the statues on the sides of the Arc de Triomphe, you get to see it up close and really feel how monumental the whole thing is.
The staff knew English and it was easy to navigate, but due to the small proportions and probably the rain, it was very crowded.
I'd recommend going if you have time!

On se sent tout petit face à cette fresque monumentale, copie taille réelle de celle présente sur l'Arc de Triomphe de Paris.
