Once home to the dukes of Lorraine, the regal Renaissance Palais Ducal now shelters the Musée Lorrain. The rich fine arts & history collection spotlights medieval statuary, engravings and lustrous faience (glazed pottery). The regional art & folklore collection occupies a 15th-century former Franciscan monastery. Inside, the Gothic Église des Cordeliers and the 17th-century Chapelle Ducale , modelled on the Medici Chapel in Florence, served as the burial place of the dukes of Lorraine.
