June 20th, 1982, since the city council of Lille, Jack Lang, Minister of Culture, announces a national plan in favour of Visual Arts, one of the key measures is: the creation of the TAIL COAT(FRAC).
The TAIL COAT(FRAC) Bourgogne is born on September 9th, 1982 and with him the need to establish(constitute) a collection of contemporary works. The first technical committee of acquisition meets in 1983 and the history(story) of this collection begins in 1984 with the acquisition of works of sixteen French and international artists.
The collection of the TAIL COAT(FRAC) Burgundy is established(constituted) of 686 works of 269 artists today. It is an open collection, rich of his(her,its) aesthetic diversity and mediums that are represented there.
On the occasion of the unveiling of the museum renovated by the Fine Arts of Dijon, it is the history(story) of this collection, at once centrifugal and centripetal, that is proposed through the experience(experiment) of someone of "key" works of this collection.
