At the end of 1857 the Society of Friends of Dijon Arts decided to hold an arts, industry and agriculture exhibition. On 7 January 1858 the Dijon municipality examined its feasibility and proposed the inclusion of the Côte-d’Or horticulture society and involved music companies. The Cote D’or prefect approved the project on 16 January. The fair opened on 8 July after being deferred from 1 June.
The Dijon Exposition took place in the former Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy, on the Place du Théâtre and Place d’Armes. It included Fine Art, Agriculture and Industry.
