This museum in an 18th century former palace presents classical, rennaisance, and modern art. The most engaging pieces though are the ones that depict the city of Avignon during various parts of its history. Browsing the galleries you can recognize a church you toured or a tower you had breakfast under.
At the time we visited there was some contemporary art presented alongside the normal collection, lending perspective to both.
The museum opens onto one of Avignon's most entertaining streets with restaurants and shops only a few steps away. I recommend L'Épicerie de Ginette for open sandwiches, soups & homemade cakes in a 1940s cafe with period music and terrace seating on a small square.
