Musée Angladon, Art museum in central Avignon, France
Musée Angladon is an art museum in a 18th-century mansion in central Avignon, displaying paintings, furniture, and decorative arts. The collection combines works by important European artists with period furniture and ornamental objects gathered over several decades.
The collection originated from Jacques Doucet, a Parisian fashion designer who gathered artworks between 1895 and 1929. The museum opened in 1996 to present this private collection to the public.
The collection brings together French and European artworks with Eastern furniture and objects, reflecting the collectors' interest in global aesthetics. The rooms display craftsmanship from different periods and cultures side by side, showing how artistic traditions can speak to one another.
A visit typically takes about one hour, and the entrance sits in a quiet neighborhood with space to explore at your own pace. The rooms are small and intimate, which means you can see the works up close.
The museum arranges certain rooms as authentic period settings, such as a 17th-century salon or an artist's workshop. These setups show how artworks were originally displayed in private homes and studios of that era.
