Designed to evoke Christmas, the Musée de la Crèche boasts the finest collection of 18th-century Neapolitan cots in France.

The composition is traditional: the Holy Family is surrounded by a multitude of small figures representing Neapolitan society, among whom are the sumptuously-dressed Magi and their procession of exotic colours.

Other cots in Nevers terracotta and spun glass, wax Christ-children and paintings celebrating the Holy Family complete the collection. The Musée de la Crèche also hosts all the temporary exhibitions organised by Chaumont's museums.
