The museum's recent renovation has improved the layout and presentation of exhibits, making it more accessible and engaging for visitors.

    Many reviewers highlight the museum's impressive array of original statues and gargoyles that once adorned the cathedral's exterior. These pieces allow visitors to appreciate the intricate details up close. The museum also houses valuable religious artifacts, including ornate vestments and liturgical objects, which provide insight into the cathedral's religious significance.

    The archaeological area in the basement, featuring remains of the ancient baptistery, is often mentioned as a particularly interesting aspect of the museum. However, some visitors note that this area can be a bit confusing without proper context or a guide.

    While most reviews are positive, a few common criticisms include the admission price, which some find a bit high, and the occasional lack of English translations for some exhibits.
