| | English translation:top end of (central) nave | Explanation:
I think the "haut" here probably refers to the top or far end of this part of the building. If the museum is one such as the Grand Palais, its central building is called the Nave. |

6 mins confidence:   vaulted nave
Explanation:
Is this museum a church/cathedral?
| | | Notes to answerer
Asker: yes, this is a museum. would there be a more "common" way to refer to this, as "vaulted nave" seems rather technical - this is a document for provision of services within the museum (like an request for tender) ... thanks!
Asker: actually just found it on their website - they refer to it as the Nave (central hall) ... thank you!!!!!!!
