This center explores the culture of stained glass - including history, technique and even lessons. Most of the visits are combined with the tour of the cathedral – which is appropriate considering that the cathedral is only 50 m away. The main exhibit on permanent display is a collection of Renaissance stained-glass. You would also be fascinated by the stained-glass workshop. A visit here leaves you delighted not only thanks to the gorgeous art but also to the gorgeous building in which this exhibition is housed.

• Reduced price of EUR 3 (uncertain category).

• Get to there on foot.
