What’s better than a house museum? A house museum that doubles as an art museum.
Musée Angladon houses the art collection of couturier Jacques Doucet. Though he never occupied the building, Hôtel de Massilian (named after the family that occupied it in the 18th century), his descendent who generously donated and funded the museum did.
The museum contains masterpieces from the 19th and 20th centuries that were, incredibly, purchased directly from the artists. Imagine buying some early works from your friend, Degas! There are also paintings by Manet, Sisley, Modigliani, Cézanne and Picasso.
The only Van Gogh painting in Provence, Railway Wagons, is on display.
Upstairs, the rooms are maintained contain 17th and 18th century paintings, furniture and objets d’art.
Open 1 p.m. – 6 p.m. every day except Mondays.
5, rue Laboureur
