Events calendar Autun

On a few summer evenings, as night falls, the ancient Roman theater swarms with hundreds of volunteers for a grandiose re-enactment of the historic high points of the Gallo-Roman city of Augustodunum. A festival of special effects, fabulous sets, costumes and pyrotechnics to take you back in time, from the Middle Ages to the Roman Empire. This year, "Les Portes du temps" will be performed for the last time, before a new creation in 2025.

"Mirror of the Prince - The Golden Age of Patronage in Autun (1425-1510)"

Following previous exhibitions such as Bologna and the Autun pontifical in 2012, From Goya to Delacroix, the artistic relations of the Guillemardet family in 2014 and Eve or the mad temptation in 2017, the Rolin Museum continues its exceptional collaboration with the Louvre Museum in order to prepare a new exhibition dedicated to the flamboyant artistic patronage of great Autun families of the late Middle Ages. Thanks to this collaboration, some beautiful works are on loan and can be presented in this temporary exhibition. The Prince's Mirror highlights the artistic commissions of the high dignitaries of the time, in the wake of Dukes Philip the Bold, John the Fearless, Philip the Good and Charles the Bold. Within the framework of the exceptional partnership with the Louvre Museum, sculptures, art objects and paintings will soon be on display at the Rolin Museum in Autun, but also in Chalon-sur-Saône at the Denon Museum.
