The Musée Lorrain (Lorenza Museum) is a museum in Nancy that tells the history of the historic region of Lorraine, from prehistoric times to the 19th century, focusing in particular on the region's ducal past and its crucial historical importance. The official seat of the museum, the Palace of the Dukes, is temporarily closed for expansion and is currently replaced by the Église des Cordeliers, the oldest church in the city which is located next to the Palace, in which the monumental tombs of the Dukes are located. The museum's collection is among the richest of its kind in France. It is divided into several sections, including the archaeological collection, painting and sculpture (from the Middle Ages to the 19th century), the graphic collection and decorative art objects, in particular furniture, terracotta, weapons and silverware.
