Discover more about Musée Angladon

The Musée Angladon, officially named Musée Angladon - Collection Jacques Doucet, is located in the hôtel de Massilian at 5 rue Laboureur in Avignon. The museum was established in 1996, fulfilling the wishes of Jean and Paulette Angladon-Dubrujeaud, heirs to the widow of Parisian couturier Jacques Doucet. The collection spans from the 18th to the 20th century and includes paintings, drawings, furniture, and objets d'art. The ground floor is dedicated to prominent artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Degas, Daumier, Cézanne, Manet, Picasso, Modigliani, and Van Gogh. The first floor recreates the ambiance of an art lover's home, with themed rooms showcasing European and Far Eastern art from the Renaissance to the 18th century. Jacques Doucet (1853–1929) was a French fashion designer and art collector. He established one of the first haute-couture fashion houses in Paris and amassed a significant collection of drawings, paintings, furniture, and objets d'art. Doucet's heirs, Jean and Paulette Angladon-Dubrujeaud, were both artists. They bequeathed their home and the art collection to the Angladon-Dubrujeaud Foundation, which was charged with establishing the museum.
