The Lambert Collection in Avignon was created in 2000 by Yvon Lambert who wanted to display his personal collection of contemporary art to the public in the Hôtel de Caumont. It assembles works from major artists such as Cy Twombly, Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, Niele Toroni, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Anselm Kiefer,Christian Boltanski, Nan Goldin, Douglas Gordon and Jenny Holzer which are displayed throughout the year, alternating with, or included as part of the temporary exhibitions.
Children under 6 admitted free of charge.
Evening visits, guided tours and creative courses for children are organised throughout the year. Le Violette is the name of the new museum restaurant. The bookshop, which keeps museum opening hours, is a real cabinet of curiosities, with books about the current national and international art scene.
For tourism professionals
The Lambert Collection in Avignon was the brainchild of art dealer and collector Yvon Lambert, who donated to the French State this exceptional collection of major works from the latter half of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st. All events have a unique, cultural ambiance in these immense, well-lit spaces, surrounded by contemporary works of art.

good tips and local secrets
Les Fromages de Valérie
It may not be the biggest stall in Les Halles, but it's the friendliest! Valérie always has a smile on her face and her cheeses are perfect for picnics to take on your hikes. My favourite: Rondin de Brebis.

The garden of Musée Vouland
A beautiful, intimate little museum which offers you the opportunity to step inside a magnificent Avignon residence, where I particularly recommend the garden; a true haven of peace in the heart of the city. You can even have a snack there when you're out cycling.

Bal des Teinturiers
A party held every spring on Rue des Teinturiers, the most picturesque and authentic street in Avignon, with barbeques and music under the shade of the pine trees in the little Place de Londe. The first time I went there, I felt like I was at a village fete... right in the heart of the city!
