Collection Lambert, Museum of Contemporary Art

Here, contemporary art comes alive all year round. Exhibitions are constantly changing, offering new perspectives on timeless masterpieces. Each visit is a new experience: monographic exhibitions, a focus on key periods in modern art, or surprising displays that reveal the richness of the collection. Housed in two magnificent 18th-century mansions in the heart of Avignon, the Lambert Collection is much more than a museum: it is an immersive experience. With more than 2,000 works from the 1960s to the present day, this unique venue invites you to explore the major movements in modern art through monographic exhibitions, daring displays, and a rich cultural program accessible to all. Whether you are an art lover or simply seeking inspiration, let yourself be surprised by the diversity of the works, the boldness of the proposals, and the beauty of the venue. Each visit is an invitation to see art differently, to experience new emotions, and to discover hidden treasures. A place not to be missed, for a different way of seeing art !
