Because it's FREE and there are nice views of the bridges & Fort St. Andres! We spent at least 30 min wandering around the gardens, riding a see-saw in the children's area, and climbed up a water fountain / rock area, to see some beautiful views of Avignon. :) It's less crowded than other tourist areas, so that's great!

When we approached the front door we were told by the first person to greet us that the exhibit was closed. We explained that we had driven an hour to get there and would stay for just a short time to respect the 6pm closing. He then points us to the main check in/register area. I approach and are told that the exhibit is closed. I explained the situation and the person was just intransient. He said he could make no allowances and I could tell that he could care less that we had made an extreme effort to get there. It wasn't as if we were there at 10 minutes before closing. We have had very good experiences with service people on France on this trip up to today but found his attitude to represent what I have heard about civil service workers or officials in this country. He could care less about service and just had an attitude that I am done and don't want to be put off. I'm sure he could care less but I need to post this to ensure that others don't make the mistake that we made. Don't expect any leeway at all!! It left me with a bad feeling and I will be telling all that I know through posts and conversations about this bad experience.

Ouvert au public depuis 1996, le musée est surtout réputé pour abriter des chefs-d'oeuvre des XIXème et XXème siècles, parmi lesquels on compte les peintres Picasso, Van Gogh, Cézanne ou encore Modigliani. On y trouve également une très belle collection de mobiliers et objets d'art du Moyen-Age au XVIIIème siècle (J.Vernet, Boucher et H.Robert...). Le musée est situé dans un ancien hôtel particulier de la rue Laboureur, petite rue parallèle à la rue de la République.

Véritable écrin, le Musée Angladon - Collection Jacques Doucet veut offrir à ses visiteurs un moment privilégié d'observation, de partage et d'intimité avec les plus grands artistes de la modernité: Degas, Daumier, Manet , Sisley, Vuillard, Derain, Picasso, Foujita, Modigliani, Van Gogh et Cézanne ...
