The finest museum in Avignon and one of the best in Provence. Includes archeology, paintings, sculptures, tapestries, porcelain, goldwork and other decorative arts. Also Egyptian and Asian exhibits. The painter Nicolas Mignard and his brother Pierre and son PierreII, Alfred Sisley, Pierre Grivolas, as well as other artists from France and Italy are well represented. This is a vast collection of and you will need several hours here. The museum is free.

My visit to Musée Calvet in Avignon was an absolute delight. Housed in a stunning 18th-century mansion, the museum is a true treasure trove of art and history. The collection is impressively diverse, spanning centuries and featuring everything from classical sculptures and ancient artifacts to beautiful paintings by renowned artists. What struck me most was the thoughtful curation of the exhibits. Each room tells a unique story, with artworks and historical pieces displayed in a way that’s both engaging and educational. The museum’s atmosphere is serene, and the fact that it’s fully climatized made the experience even more enjoyable, offering a comfortable retreat from the summer heat as you explore the rich collections. Another fantastic aspect is that admission is completely free, making it accessible to everyone who wants to immerse themselves in the art and history of the region. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, offering insights and answering questions with enthusiasm. The museum itself is well-maintained, and the architecture adds to the overall experience, with its grand staircases, elegant rooms, and charming courtyard. Whether you’re an art lover or simply curious about the rich history of Avignon, Musée Calvet is a must-visit. It’s a cultural gem that offers a deep and rewarding experience, leaving you with a greater appreciation for the arts and the history of the region. Highly recommended!
