Musée des Avelines, Local museum in Saint-Cloud, France
The Musée des Avelines occupies a 1930s villa and displays art collections alongside exhibits about Saint-Cloud's history. The rooms present works by local artists, the Charles Oulmont collection, and materials related to the town's former castle.
The villa was designed in 1930 by architect Louis Mourot and later opened as a museum in 1988. Its original owner, industrialist Alfred Daniel-Brunet, assembled a significant art collection.
The name comes from the aveline trees that once grew throughout Saint-Cloud. Visitors encounter artworks and objects that reflect how the city and its residents lived together over time.
The museum opens Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 6 pm and on Sundays from 2 pm to 6 pm, with no admission fee. Weekday hours are shorter than weekend hours.
The collection expanded significantly from 2008 onward, adding paintings by Gaston La Touche and other regional artists. This ongoing growth shows how the museum continues to build its holdings with works from across different periods.
