Jardin du musée Le Vergeur
36 Place du Forum 51100 Reims
The Hotel Le Vergeur was built in the 13th century, in an area populated by rich merchants. The building belonged in the sixteenth century to Nicolas Le Vergeur, bourgeois rémois who transforms it and gives it the characteristics of a mansion with Renaissance interior facades arranged around a courtyard. Its owner Hugues Krafft (1853-1935) brought back from his travels around the world a large number of objects, clothing and photographic plates constituting a beautiful ethnographic ensemble. At his death, his rich collections of furniture and art objects formed the heart of the Le Vergeur Museum, which today offers a remarkable immersion in a bourgeois interior from the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century. The collections were enriched each year thanks to the generosity of many donors, including complete and original series of prints of The Apocalypse and The Great Passion by Albrecht Dürer.
