The Italien painters,
The painters of the School of Avignon,
The sculptures
When the Musée du Petit Palais opened in 1976, the collections that were there came from two origins : an endowment from the Louvre and one from the Calvet Foundation in Avignon.
Those from the Louvre were composed of three hundred 14th and 15th century Italian panels coming from the Campana collection.
The collection of sculptures came from donations, purchases and items stored by the city during works, donations from the Calvet Foundation and from excavations around the Petit Palais. It is today exhibited in the five halls of the museum of the Petit Palais, open to the public since 1979.
