Musée Calvet
The building and the collection together form one of the most poetic and history-laden places of Avignon.
The School of Avignon is celebrated there, with a panorama of Avignon artistic creation from the Renaissance to the Revolution. Paintings, sculptures and objets d'art let visitors better grasp the richness of this production of the 16th to 17th centuries with works by Simon de Châlons, Nicolas Mignard, Reynaud Levieux and Pierre Mignard, as well as works of the 17th and early 18th centuries. More broadly, the museum's painting collection presents works from the 15th to the 20th centuries. Sculptures are also on show with works by C. Claudel, Francesco Laurana, James Pradier etc. Marcel Puech donation: furniture, faience, bronzes... Egyptian collection shown in three rooms.
