La collection Granville constitue l'un des plus importants ensembles d'oeuvres d'art réuni par des passionnés au cours du XXème siècle en France. Les donations réalisées au profit du Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon entre 1969 et 2006 demeurent, en effet, un exemple exceptionnel de l'aboutissement d'une vie consacrée à la recherche de l'art. Provenant directement de leur collection, cet ensemble composé d'oeuvres d'Alain de La Bourdonnaye et de Charles Lapicque semble répondre à la propre ligne de conduite de Pierre Granville: "Toujours la politique fut de ne point déroger à la règle essentielle, celle de la qualité plutôt que celle de la signature".
