The Avignon Festival, in and off addresses
The Lambert Collection for art lovers
The Lambert Collection is a contemporary art museum nestled in an exceptional mansion and housing a permanent collection of a visionary dealer. Gallery owner Yvon Lambert has specialized since the early 1960s in minimal art, conceptual art and land art. We discover works by renowned artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Daniel Buren, Cy Twombly and Christian Boltanski. Beyond artistic contemplation, going to the Lambert Collection is also an architectural pleasure. The Lambert Collection actually takes place in two very beautiful private mansions, built in the 18the of an exceptionally rich heritage.
