Situated near the cathedral, the Hôtel de Berny museum is housed in the former Hôtel des Trésoriers de France (direct tax collectors hall) of the Généralité d'Amiens (former regional government), built in 1633 and bequeathed to the City of Amiens by its last owner, Gérard de Berny, in 1957.

The collections are of furniture and applied arts from the Louis XV and Louis XVI periods, panelling, overmantels, overdoors and chimneys, the most remarkable being the Salon du Zodiaque and the Salon La Fayette.

In addition to the furniture, there is a collection of XVIIth to XXth century objets d’art (tapestries, fans, ceramics and time-pieces).
