Among the ancient liturgical objects collected in the museum recently set up on the left of the entrance, there is the silver-plated copper reliquary in the shape of a casket, offered in the 16th century by the commendatory prior J.?L. Vuillet, of the lords of St?Pierre; four crosses in silver sheet (15th-16th centuries); photographic reproductions of the illuminated pages of two precious liturgical books, an antiphonary from the 15th century and a gradual from the 16th century, used by the famous prior of the Collegiate Church of St. Orso Giorgio di Challant. Today these precious codices are kept with the other Valdostan liturgical books at the Library of the Episcopal Seminary of Aosta.
Almost as a crowning touch to the ensemble, there is a precious oil painting of the Guardian Angel (late 17th century). In the sacristy, there is also a reliquary bust of Saint Lawrence (19th century), the work of the sculptor Molino.
