Musée Lapidaire

Excellent presentation of classical art and pottery in this antique church. At the time we went the typical Egyptian, Greek, and Roman treasures were complimented by contemporary works. The vaulting of the church dramatically frames all the art, giving the visitor a sense of the changing tastes of creativity and human expression. The church faces one of the city's major streets, a few steps away from food and drinks. I highly recommend visiting.

It is cool place to go and enjoy free exhibit of Egypt Greece and Italy. It is not big but I liked it!

Musée Lapidaire in Avignon is an extraordinary destination for anyone interested in archaeology and ancient civilizations. Housed in a stunning former Jesuit church, the museum offers a captivating collection of artifacts that span thousands of years, with a strong focus on the classical antiquities of the Mediterranean. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, showcasing a wide range of ancient sculptures, mosaics, and funerary art from Roman, Greek, and Etruscan cultures. Each piece tells a story of the past, offering a glimpse into the lives, beliefs, and artistry of ancient peoples. The collection is both impressive and educational, providing a deep understanding of the cultural and historical context of the region. One of the best aspects is that admission to this incredible museum is completely free, making it accessible to everyone. It’s a wonderful opportunity to explore ancient history without any cost. The setting itself adds to the experience, with the grandeur of the church’s architecture creating a dramatic backdrop for the ancient artifacts. The museum’s serene atmosphere allows for quiet reflection, making it easy to appreciate the craftsmanship and significance of each piece.

A museum that’s easy and pleasant to explore — don’t miss the Jean-Michel Othoniel exhibition outside.

Free museum which boasts an extensive exhibition on Egyptian artefacts. Central location allows for visitors to explore at their own leisure.

Small museum focus on Egyptian artifacts and statues. Entrance is free. Definitely worth 30 minutes of your life. Only setback is that all texts are in French.

The plaza behind the museum is so nice, with local market and restaurant.

Great little museum of antiquities from Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman. It's free entrance. Most of the descriptions are in French so kinda hard for non French.
