Avignon

Gallery sights in Avignon

  1. A

    Musée Angladon

    Tiny Musée Angladon harbours impressionist treasures including Van Gogh's Railway Wagons – look closely and notice the ‘earth’ isn’t paint, but bare canvas. Also displayed are a handful of early Picasso sketches and artworks by Cézanne, Sisley, Manet and Degas; upstairs are antiques and 17th-century paintings.

    Musée Calvet

    The elegant Hôtel de Villeneuve-Martignan (built 1741–54) provides a fitting backdrop for Avignon's fine-arts museum, with 16th- to 20th-century oil paintings, compelling prehistoric pieces, 15th-century wrought-iron, and the elongated landscapes of Avignonnais artist Joseph Vernet.

    Collection Lambert

    Avignon's contemporary-arts museum showcases works from the 1960s to present – from minimalist and conceptual, to video and photography – in stark contrast with the classic 18th-century mansion housing them.
