About Louis Vouland Museum
The Louis Vouland Museum, also known as the Museum of Decorative Arts of Avignon, is located in a beautiful 18th-century mansion in Avignon, France. The museum's collections feature French decorative arts from the 18th and 19th centuries, including furniture, ceramics, glassware, tapestries, and paintings. The museum is named after Louis Vouland, a wealthy collector from Avignon who bequeathed his collection to the city in 1949. The collection has since grown through numerous donations and acquisitions, and the museum now boasts over 4,000 works of art. Highlights of the collection include a set of porcelain vases made for the Trianon Palace at Versailles, a collection of Sevres porcelain, and a display of furniture designed by Georges Jacob, one of the most prominent furniture makers of the 18th century. The museum also has a large collection of 19th-century French paintings, including works by Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Courbet, and Jean-François Millet. In addition to its permanent collections, the Louis Vouland Museum hosts temporary exhibitions and offers educational programs and workshops for visitors of all ages. It is a must-visit for anyone interested in the decorative arts and the history of French design.
