Museum of Fine Arts

(Local Name: Reims - Musée des Beaux-Arts) In Reims, to the west of Place du Cardinal- Luçon, in the former Abbaye de St-Denis (18th C.), is the Musée des Beaux Arts, a large municipal collection of paintings, sculpture, antiquities and applied art. Particularly notable are 10 16th C. tapestries depicting the story of St Rémi, a number of portraits (mostly of Saxon Electors and their wives) by the elder and the younger Cranach, and the so-called toiles peintres (15th and 16th C. paintings).
