This isn't one of those splashy museums with the blockbuster items on everyone's lists. You do yourself a favor to spend a little time here to sink into the special statues and tapestries that add to the historical significance of Reims. My adult children and I were glad we went. It added a whole new level to this interesting city.
The museum holds several fascinating objects, but the majority of items are very similar to what can be seen elsewhere. The building itself was worth viewing though.
Entrance cost was very reasonable, and this would be a good place to go on a cold or wet day, but they could do with livening the place up a bit.
Some interesting artifacts from french history are on show here and it's been adapted so that I could get to almost everything in my powered wheelchair.
This is a nice museum containing archeology collections found on the territory of today's Reims. The collections range from prehistoric times, gallic, gallo-roman, medieval times all the way until the XIXth century. The cloister and the chapter house evoke the medieval architectural splendor of the former royal abbey of Saint Remi.
If you like all things Medieval, this is a lovely place to visit. It also has Roman and pre-historic exhibits but I think it shines because of the various artefacts from the town's medieval.history. Wonderful.statues and I particularily liked the Musician savey from the House of the Musicians. The Hall of Tapestries was impressive, and I thought the building was just so suitable to house it all. Really enjoyed the visit, the only slight critisism I might voice that they didn't have many leaflets in English, not a problem for me as I could read the German and French, maybe they ran out, not sure, but if you have a couple of hours spare, go see it, well worth it.
Stunning building holding an assortment of prehistoic, Roman and medieval artefacts
Particularly good at providing local history
An english translation/guide would have been useful
I think free entrance every first Sunday of the month
