Next door to the Palais, the excellent Musée de l'Oeuvre Notre-Dame houses the original sculptures from the cathedral exterior, damaged in the Revolution and replaced today by copies. Other treasures here include the eleventh-century Wissembourg Christ, said to be the oldest representation of a human figure in stained glass, and the architect's original parchment drawings for the statuary, which are fascinatingly detailed.
