Collection Lambert, Contemporary art museum in Avignon, France.
Collection Lambert occupies two 18th-century mansion buildings in Avignon, offering spacious rooms for displaying contemporary artworks. These restored structures provide multiple galleries where exhibitions change regularly and showcase international artists.
The institution was created when a major art collector donated approximately two thousand artworks to establish this cultural space in Avignon. This founding gift transformed the city's role in the contemporary art world.
The museum houses artworks from artists across generations who shaped contemporary art in Europe and beyond. Visitors encounter pieces that represent different movements and geographic origins, all brought together under one roof.
The location sits in the heart of Avignon's old town and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should allow enough time to walk through the galleries at a comfortable pace.
A significant portion of the original collection was later transferred to the French state, making it permanently available to visitors. This move transformed it from a private collection into a public heritage site.
