Nancy has several museums worthy of a visit. The Museum of Lorraine History, located in the Ducal Palace, has a collection of George de la Tour paintings which are exceptional. The Museum of Lorraine Life showcases the everyday life of the people of Lorraine throughout the ages. There are displays of furniture and work implements in an interactive setting.
You can walk into the homes and rooms and see the actual furnishings. It was attractively done, and even though there were no English write-ups, you can pretty well understand most of the displays. One case was full of different types of foot warmers. Some of them we couldn't figure out and that was half the fun. We invented uses for some of the items we couldn't identify.

The Cordeliers Church has the tombs of some of the Dukes of Lorraine; Rene II, Anthony, and Francois I. Some very unique stone grave covers are on the wall as you enter the chapel; they have skeletons on them, and they are smirking. These three museums can be visited on a combination pass that you can purchase at the Ducal Palace.
But, no visit would be complete without a visit to the Beaux Arts Museum.
