The rooms of the Treasury, gathered in the sacristy of the chapter since the mid-nineteenth century. Their arrangements, made by Viollet le Duc, was renovated at the 850th anniversary of the cathedral. The rooms exhibit an impressive collection of ornaments, chalices, crosses, cameos representing the popes from St. Peter, and reliquaries (the original Treasury was looted during the Revolution). Here, the second reliquary of the Holy Crown of Thorns, which been offered at Notre Dame by Napoleon III, designed by Viollet le Duc and made in 1862 by Placide Poussielgue-Rusand. Viollet le Duc has imitated the crown shape with fleur de lys of the lost medieval reliquary. Thus the crown, protected by a crystal tube, could be seen. Today, the relics of the Passion is presented in a transparent box at the entrance of the axial chapel (see photos 159 and 160).
