Castles & Country Houses, Museums & Art Centres
The Musée du Petit Palais is one of the important Museums of medieval art in Europe. It displays works of art from the Middle Ages and of the Italian Renaissance, with over 700 paintings and sculptures, enriched by the filing of CAMPANA collection from the Louvre deposit.
Once a Cardinal and Archbishop's palace, the palace was rebuilt in the late 15th century by the archbishop Julien de la Rovère, future Pope Jules II.
The Musée du Petit Palais is part of La Fondation Calvet, an important art foundation named after Esprit Calvet, who left his collections and library to it in 1810.
