To enter this museum you first have to go through the Musée des Tissus (Fabric Museum). Sprawled over two stories, this museum is a treasure-house of furniture, tapestries, china and earthenware. There are rooms reconstructed a la mode the XVIII century, magnificent clocks, Aubusson and Gobelins tapestries, XV and XVI century Italian majolica, earthenware from the XV to the XVII centuries as well as a beautiful harpsichord made by Donzelague in 1716 which is still used for concerts.
