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, donated in the 16th century by the commendatory prior J.?L. Vuillet, of the lords of St?Pierre; four silver plate crosses (15th-16th centuries); photographic reproductions of the illuminated pages of two precious liturgical books, a 15th century antiphonary and a 16th century gradual, used by the famous prior of the Collegiate Church of St. Orso Giorgio di Challant. Today these precious codices are kept with other Valdostan liturgical books at the Library of the Aosta Episcopal Seminary.
Almost as a crowning touch to the collection, there is a precious oil painting of the Guardian Angel (late 17th century). In the sacristy, instead, a reliquary bust of Saint Lawrence (19th century), the work of the sculptor Molino, is preserved.
