Comment: "Again, thank you, everyone. I've opted for Jonathan's **collection** - as a Lapidarium can but need not be a **museum** in its own right, and at its most modest, probably a coll. of **trivia**. Meanwhile, found a further succinct Ger. definition at BeyArs: http://www.beyars.com/kunstlexikon/lexikon_5354.html - a 'coll. of works in stone' ranging from statues to sarcophagi and milestones. "

Museum of stone carvings
This is from the website of the ancient abbey library of St. Gall in Switzerland, where stone carvings (building material and stuatues) are displayed. Perhaps it is helpful to you.
