In the heart of an exceptional landscape, the access to the abbey founded by William of Orange and classified today as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is through the cloister. The museum is located in the former refectory of the monks. Its collections bring together pieces from the old abbey and cover fifteen centuries of sculpture, since the Gallo-Roman era. An amphitheater allows visitors to travel through twelve centuries of history thanks to a 17-minute film and a virtual reconstruction allows visitors to imagine the cloister as it was in its original state.
