The Museum of the Day-nursery(Crib) is an appendix of the art museum and of History(Story). The fund(collection) of the museum, most unusual in France, is mainly established(constituted) of a rich particular(special) collection of old(former) day-nurseries(cribs) acquired in 1976 by the City of Chaumont, of deposits(warehouses) of the State and of acquisitions realised later. So get involved, in accordance with baroque spirit, modest contemporary characters and luxuriously dressed exotic characters. The museum also keeps(preserves) French day-nurseries(cribs) to the small glassy characters spun by Nevers (XVIIIth-XIXth centuries) and babies Jesus of wax (XVIITH - XIXTH centuries).
