MUSEE DE LA CHARTREUSE

DOUAI, FRANCE

Originally a monastery built in 1663,
with an added Chapel completed
in 1725, the museum embodies
the evolution of religious architecture during the Renaissance.

The multisensory exhibit design introduces the collection of reclining stones, as well as the chapel and cloister architecture. Tactile plans, elevations, details, and facsimiles describe the ornamental stones, and
are accompanied by audio commentary with period music.
