The finest testimonies to the history of Arras are to be found here: 15C tapestries, the cathedral treasure, porcelains, 17C and pre-Impressionist paintings. In addition, large-scale temporary exhibitions present the collections of the Château de Versailles. Be sure to see the lion of the Arras Belfry (1554), the angels of Saudémont (13C), Pieter Bruegel the Younger's The Census at Bethlehem (17C) or Buffon's service with birds.
