Musée du Petit Palais

Step inside the former archbishops’ palace to discover Italian painting and medieval Provençal art. The Petit Palais houses the Campana collection on loan from the Louvre, as well as sculptures linked to Avignon’s history. The works trace the evolution of imagery and techniques from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, in a historic building on the place du Palais.
