At the crossing with the avenue du Docteur Ménard stands the Musée National Message Biblique Marc Chagall, the most important exhibition of Chagall's works (paintings, etchings, lithographs, sculptures, stained glass, mosaics, wall tapestries on Biblical themes). Works by other artists are also displayed in the temporary exhibitions which are mounted.The stained glass wall in the concert auditorium is an excellent Chagall example.

It includes collections dealing with fungi, biological evolution, paleontology, geology and mineralogy. The information displays give current information about endangered species.
