The treasures are spread out on three floors. Visitors have the option of taking elevator, a regular staircase, and a spiral staircase between floors. I took the spiral staircase.
Included in the fee is an walkie-talkie style audio guide. Some of the items have a number next to them, press the number to learn more about the item.
My notes say their most famous piece has been safely tucked away because someone tried to steal it and they want to keep it safe. That's why we can't have nice things. The piece used in all their advertising.

| Statue of St-:Lambert. His life history appears throughout the statue. There is so much detail, the piece had several numbers so as you walk around it, you hear more about his life. |
 |
| The back of St-Lambert. |
 |
| A close-up of his story |
 |
| I took a lot of window pictures on this trip |
 |
| Love the vibrant blue paint |
 |
| Someone is buried down there...I don't remember who |
 |
| Creepy baby Jesus doll used in a local nativity tableau (or maybe in a pageant) |
 |
| Another window shot |
 |
| Love the ceiling and lighting |
After leaving the treasures, I walked around the corner to the cathedral. The upper windows are fairly plain and modern, which gave me the impression they are in the process of being renovated. Andre, my host father, said the lower windows are by a famous stained glass maker. A quick Google search shows the lower windows were made by Korean painter, and Domincan Father, Kim En Joong in 2011-2013. I still wonder about the upper windows.
 |
| Under the statue are the words "Mes Amis" (my friends). I like the warm thought. |
 |
| The upper windows I wonder about, especially since there is netting between them and the rest of the cathedral |
