Musée Calvet

Wonderful visit! Beautiful paintings, sculptures and artifacts! Very comfortable; Air conditioned and no charge!

I am not a big expert of art and for a free entrance to an air conditioned museum, it can't get better than that. There is a considerable amount of paintings and some sculptures. Also, they have some Egyptian art. Not a crowded place.

Nice free museum in a lovely royal building. The collection has something for anyone. Maybe not the best pieces but still a great collection.

If you love sculptures, they have a beautiful room with many. We were pleasantly surprised by this museum and would definitely recommend it.

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!

It’s a good thing this museum is free. This is a quite unremarkable art collection. With so much incredible art in the country, I wouldn’t waste your time here.

Need to arrive before 1630, as difference opening time for each month and should be arrive 30 minutes before closing

Loved this museum, amazing experience. We very much appreciated the free entrance to see such a fascinating connection of paintings and sculptures. Highly recommend!
