The Louis Vouland Museum (musée Louis Vouland) is a 17th and 18th century decorative arts museum in Avignon, housed in a hôtel particulier designed by Villeneuve-Esclapon. Its collections include Parisian furniture, faience from Marseille and Moustiers, metalwork, tapestries and paintings.

History[]

On 26 November 1872 at Hyères, Mathilde de Thysebaërt married Marie Xavier Arthur de Villeneuve-Esclapon, who in 1877 became secretary-general for the department of Vaucluse. In 1879 Mathilde bought an estate next to the rue Saint-Dominique (now the rue Victor-Hugo) in Avignon, where she built a hôtel particulier.^[1] The couple lived there for a time before selling it to Marie Camp in 1897. After Camp's death it was bought on 14 November 1927 by the industrialist and collector Louis Vouland to house his collections. On his death on 28 November 1973, he left the building and his collections to the Fondation de France to become a museum.^[2]
