We were taken here by our French hosts, but I really had no idea what were were looking at. They did not read or interpret for us, and all the signs are in French. It was hard to be impressed by what I was seeing since I had no idea what it was or how old it was. Definitely skip if you can't read French.

The museum was in an old residence initially built by the Romans which was interesting. Most of the exhibits I saw were interesting but not really related to Provins. We were there during the week in the fall and it was about the only exhibit open. If you are there for the Knights and Chevaliers exhibits I would see those rather than this museum. Just walking in the streets you see more history of Provins than in the museum. Do go to Provins, just don't spend time in the museum.

We visited because we had a 12€ Provins Pass, alternatively entry is 4€30 for this attraction.
We had a walk through, I wasn't overly impressed. No self guided audio tour, all signs in French only.

Despite the fact that we don't speak French, we decided to visit this museum since it was included in the price of our pass (12 Euros). It's a small three level museum with a variety of artifacts from Provins. It would have been more interesting if we understood French and could read about the items, or if they offered an English translation, but it was still interesting to see the sculptures, artifacts from churches, and a variety of other items. Without being able to read anything, our visit only took about 20 minutes. Allow at least twice as long if you can read the signs.

A surprising amount of information and objects in such a small place.
Warning, everything is written in French and they didnt seem to have English guidebooks. Luckily my husband speaks french, but if you dont it will probably be a lot of guesswork.

We enjoyed everything we saw in Provins. The medival village is the reason why we went there in the first place. The village is very well preserved and interesting to look at. And we all know that with a medival village comes with a medival castle which is amazing. The reason I rated just with three stars is because the museum seems very empthy. Maybe if they look mor for things to show is would be amazing. Recommended for children who love history.

It was not the best attraction in the city but as wheather was awful we decided to take the tour. May be interesting if you want to know more about the city's history but not a must-do. Very curious exhibition of masonic presence in the area. If you want to the the souterrains tour it would be better to visit the museum first as many explanations of the guides are related to objects present here.

Interesting to walk around the old building including the cellar. Displays are poorly presented and described however with no sense of planning. One interesting item was the revolving wooden place to place babies to pass them into convent care.

The museum is located in a house preserved as it was in the 13th century. The cellars are worth a visit.
