Museum Louis Vouland, Avignon
Here you can discover the exceptional collection of 17th- and 18th-century decorative arts that Louis Vouland (1883-1973), a food industry industrialist, built up over some fifty years for this house where he settled in 1927. Furniture, earthenware, porcelain, tapestries, clocks, chandeliers, mirrors and Chinese objects create the intimate atmosphere of this timeless house museum, where the magic of the 18th-century spirit is at work.
The museum presents a permanent collection of Decorative Arts from the 17th and 18th centuries. It also presents works by 19th and 20th century Provençal artists from the museum's collection, during thematic or monographic exhibitions.
TO COMPLETE YOUR VISIT (included in the Pass)
The museum offers temporary exhibitions that unfold in contemporary rooms and within the collections of decorative arts, where constantly renewed dialogues are formed.

Exhibition Resurgence JI Dahai /JC MEFFRE Carte blanche to trace de poète
From 14 February to 14 June 2026
Free
Summer and winter alike, a blanket of white persists at the summit of Mont Ventoux. This giant is our Provençal Mount Fuji. At its feet, countless springs flow silently, emerging here and there.
Some are well known: Fontaine de Vaucluse and the Groseau spring.
Joël-Claude Meffre, poet and archaeologist, and Ji Dahai, painter and calligrapher, visited around twenty of them in a year. Ji Dahai sketched each of these springs in his notebooks, using ink and brush, capturing them as he saw them. Joël-Claude Meffre searched the sources of his words for the words that would be heard. It was in Brantes, after the last visit, that the word “resurgence” emerged as the key.
