Musée Louis Vouland

Musée Louis Vouland, Furniture museum in Avignon, France

The Musée Louis Vouland occupies a 17th–18th-century hôtel particulier built by the Villeneuve-Esclapon family on rue Victor-Hugo in Avignon. Its rooms display Parisian furniture, Moustiers and Marseille faience, metalwork, tapestries and paintings. In one room, a tall glass-front cabinet with curved sides stands on red tiles near a square table set with a tea service, an upholstered armchair and a curved-front chest of drawers with brass handles.

Mathilde de Thysebaërt bought land on what is now rue Victor-Hugo in 1879 and had a hôtel particulier built there; the Villeneuve-Esclapon couple sold it in 1897 to Marie Camp. On 14 November 1927 the industrialist Louis Vouland acquired it to house his collections, buying at sales such as the Hôtel Drouot. He died on 28 November 1973, leaving the house and collections to the Fondation de France; a decree of 1 June 1977 recognised the Fondation Louis Vouland as being of public utility.

The museum displays works by craftsmen such as Migeon, Ellaume, and Tuart, representing French handcraft traditions. These pieces show how wealthy people furnished their homes during the 17th and 18th centuries.

The museum occupies the hôtel particulier built for Mathilde de Thysebaërt on the rue Victor-Hugo, formerly rue Saint-Dominique, in central Avignon. Rooms are arranged over the house's floors, with the furniture and faience collections displayed in the former living spaces. Allow time to move between floors and to look closely at the marked pieces.

Louis Vouland bought the hôtel particulier on 14 November 1927 and filled it with pieces acquired at major Paris sales, notably at the Hôtel Drouot. Among the furniture is a Dutch walnut cabinet of the late 17th century, inlaid with vases, birds and flower friezes in light woods against a dark walnut ground.
