Musée du cloître de Notre-Dame-en-Vaux

Musée du cloître de Notre-Dame-en-Vaux, Medieval art museum in Châlons-en-Champagne, France.

The museum displays 55 column statues and medieval sculptures collected from archaeological excavations of the original Notre-Dame-en-Vaux cloister site.

Archaeological excavations conducted between 1969 and 1976 by Leon Pressouyre recovered three-quarters of the original cloister elements from their 1759 destruction.

The museum collection demonstrates the evolution of sculptural styles, marking the transition period between Romanesque and Gothic art in medieval France.

Located on Rue Nicolas Durand, the museum opens Wednesday through Monday from 10 AM to 6 PM, with a two-hour lunch break at noon.

The museum houses a 16th-century polychrome Pieta, donated by Jean and Alisson Poussin, among its collection of medieval religious artifacts.
