Le musée lapidaire in Narbonne, Aude, France | Museum

The chapel of the Collège des Jésuites was originally converted for the purpose of displaying Medieval and Gallo-Roman sculptures from the http://www.musee-calvet.org/Musée Calvet. For about a decade other collections have been displayed there : Egyptian, Greek and Etruscan. These arrangements predate the recently redisigned archeological exhibitions at the Musée Calvet.
Recent research by the historian Alain Breton reveals that this superb example of Baroque architecture located in the center of Avignon is not the work of one architect. Etienne Martellange (1568 or 1569-1641) designed the church and began construction in 1620. Eight years later the architect François de Royers de la Valfenière took over the work site brought it to conclusion.
The plan of the edifice is neat and simple. It is composed of a single nave, preceded by a narthex and ending at the choir composed of a short bay and a pentagonal apse.
The two sacristies are comprised of the ground floors of the bell tower and clock tower. The nave is flanked on each side by five arcaded bays, and a tribune with balusters.
Over the tribunes are a freize (vegetal forms), cornice and the attic. Large windows surmount the ensemble. Now sealed, they used to contain the stained glass work of F. Commeaux of Nîmes.
At the entry to the nave a pair of windings stairs lead up to the lateral tribunes as well as to the large central balustered tribune that dates from 1660. The architectural decoration is mainly the work of the Avignonnais sculptor Reynaud Barbeau at Le musée lapidaire.
