House of Musicians was a 13th-century architectural ensemble in Reims that was destroyed during World War I, with its façade dismantled in 1917 and partially preserved in the Saint-Remi Museum. The building featured five larger-than-life musician statues in niches on its first floor, which gave the house its distinctive name. In 2021, the façade was reconstructed on its original site through efforts by the "Renaissance de la Maison des Musiciens" association.

The house got its name from its resemblance to the Saint-Julien-des-Ménétriers building in Paris, and visitors can still see the original first-floor façade with the musician statues displayed in the museum where it was relocated for safekeeping.

At the time, this building, with no particular connection to music, housed residential buildings. Its name comes from its resemblance to the Maison de Saint-Julien des Ménétriers in Paris.

The five statues, now on display at the Musée Saint-Remi, constitute one of the rare examples of secular decoration in the Middle Ages. Their original polychromy, their volume, and their draperies bear strong similarities to the statues of musicians in the cathedral. Construction of Notre-Dame was in full swing at the time, and it is likely that the owner of the house used the same craftsmen.

The statues were dismantled during the Great War before the building was completely destroyed in 1917. Nothing remains of the house, apart from a small head that served as a starting point for the first ribbed vault. It is on this fragment that the reconstruction, designed by architect Frédéric Coqueret with the approval of the Bâtiments de France (Buildings of France), will be based.
