Sacred Destinations
A richly illustrated guide to the world's sacred places,
sacred art, religious architecture and historic religious sites.

Photos: Musée Rolin, Autun

This gallery of 67 photos accompanies our article on the Musée Rolin in Autun, Burgundy, France. Housed in a Renaissance hotel, this museum displays Gallo-Roman and Romanesque artifacts and religious art. Most notable is Gislebertus' sensual Temptation of Eve, rescued from the cathedral's north door. All photos marked © Sacred Destinations are available for licensing.
