À propos
Designed to evoke Christmas, the Musée de la Crèche boasts the finest collection of 18th-century Neapolitan cribs in France.
The composition is traditional: the Holy Family is surrounded by a multitude of small figures representing Neapolitan society, among whom are the sumptuously-dressed Magi and their exotic procession.
Other cribs in Nevers terracotta and spun glass, wax Christ-children and paintings celebrating the Holy Family complete the collection. The Musée de la Crèche also hosts all temporary exhibitions organized by Chaumont's museums.
