| Vouland
Museum in Avignon |
 In
the heart of the Papal city, set up in the Villeneuve-Esclapon residence,
the Louis Vouland Museum is located near the Saint-Dominique gate of the
city walls.
Open
to the public since 1982 in this charming former private residence with
pleasant garden, the Museum presents the prestigious collection of decorative
arts assembled during his lifetime by the Avignon industrialist Louis
Vouland, with his pronounced taste for the 18th century. Furniture, ceramics,
gold and silver plate, tapestries and paintings charmingly evoke the luxury
and refinement of these past centuries.
