An independent residential building, the palace built by the Abbot Jean de Bourbon in the second half of the 15th century, close to the main entrance, occupies a special position above the site of the abbey of Cluny.
It was spared the vandalism of the Revolution and was then purchased by a resident of Cluny, Jean-Baptiste Ochier. It assumed its present role as museum following a gift by the widow of a Cluny doctor in 1864. Two years later the new museum opened its doors.

The original creation of the collections was intimately connected with the events of the French Revolution and the decree of 13 February 1790, doing away with the religious communities. The sale by the government in 1798 of the abbey buildings involved the destruction of most of the ecclesiastical furniture and fittings, the tombs and finally the church itself, virtually wiped out in 1825. Private initiatives, supported by the goodwill of the municipality, helped collect up what was left of the monument, firstly as a stonework collection, around the eight large capitals of the choir.
