Musée Bossuet, Episcopal museum in Meaux, France
The Musée Bossuet occupies a former episcopal palace, displaying over 5,500 artifacts spanning from medieval times through the 20th century within stone walls.
Established in 1927, the museum preserves the legacy of Jacques Bénigne Bossuet, a 17th-century bishop, through portraits by Hyacinthe Rigaud and Pierre Mignard.
The museum exhibits regional archaeological findings, religious art, and paintings from notable artists including Jean-François Millet and Jean-Léon Gérôme.
The museum opens daily except Tuesdays from April to October, with reduced hours from November to March, offering guided tours in multiple languages.
Medieval rooms on the ground floor maintain their original architecture while hosting temporary exhibitions throughout the year.
