Musée Lorrain

Once home to the dukes of Lorraine, the regal Renaissance Palais Ducal now shelters the Musée Lorrain (closed for renovation until 2022). The rich fine arts and history collection spotlights medieval statuary, engravings and lustrous faience (glazed pottery). The regional art and folklore collection occupies a 15th-century former Franciscan monastery. Inside, the Gothic Église des Cordeliers and the 17th-century Chapelle Ducale, modeled on the Medici Chapel in Florence, served as the burial place of the dukes of Lorraine. They both remain open.
