Musée Antoine Vivenel, Art and archaeological museum in Compiègne, France
The museum occupies a late 18th-century mansion, displaying collections that span from prehistoric artifacts to Renaissance artworks across multiple exhibition rooms.
Antoine Vivenel, a successful architect and entrepreneur, established this museum in 1839 by donating 4,000 pieces from his personal collection to Compiègne.
The museum exhibits European artistic traditions through paintings, sculptures, and archaeological items, with a dedicated room for Asian art opened in 2018.
The museum offers exploration booklets with entrance tickets, allowing visitors to discover the collections and local history at their own pace.
Napoleon III frequently visited the original museum location when staying at the nearby château with his guests during the mid-19th century.
