Within the prestigious walls of the former episcopal palace, you'll discover an exceptional collection of Maurienne costumes. The museum also displays tools and utensils from everyday life in days gone by.

One room features archaeological collections, another is devoted to religious art, and a third to the history of the Savoy dynasty.
