Musées de Sens, Archaeological museum in Sens, France.

The Musées de Sens occupies the former Archbishop's Palace next to St-Stephen's Cathedral, displaying extensive collections of regional artifacts and artworks.

Founded in the mid-nineteenth century, the museum preserves Bronze Age treasures from Villethierry and Gallic period items from Saint-Denis-les-Sens.

The institution maintains one of France's largest cathedral treasuries alongside Flemish paintings and sculptures by Auguste Rodin from the Marrey collection.

Located at 135 rue Déportés et de la Résistance, the museum charges 7 euros for adults and remains closed on Tuesdays and French holidays.

The museum displays Gallo-Roman mortuary steles and mosaics recovered from a fourth-century thermal building in the region.
