Diocesan Museum Description
(Local Name: Musée Diocesain et Trésor de la Cathédrale) On the right near the choir of Saint Aubain is the Renaissance building of the Diocesan Museum with the cathedral treasury. On display are liturgical vessels, vestments, sculpture and goldsmiths' work. Of special note are a portable altar of the Counts of Namur (12th C.) with ivory decoration, a Merovingian reliquary (eighth C.) from Andenne and the reliquary crown of Philip the Noble of Namur which, it is said, bears thorns from Christ's passion crown; it was a gift from Philip's brother Henry of Constantinople.
