The Angladon Museum - Jacques Doucet (French - Musée Angladon - Collection Jacques Doucet) is a museum at 5 rue Laboureur in Avignon. It is based in the hôtel de Massilian, a former hôtel particulier built in the 18th century. The museum was established in 1996 according to the wishes of Jean and Paulette Angladon-Dubrujeaud, heirs to the widow of the Parisian couturier Jacques Doucet (1853-1929). Its collections includes artworks from the 18th to 20th century. Jacques Doucet set up one of the first haute-couture fashion houses in Paris, based at rue de la Paix from 1895 to 1927 rue de la Paix. With the wealth he gained from this ventured he collected drawings, paintings, furniture and objets d'art from the 18th century to the present-day. He was also an active patron of the arts, financially supporting writers such as Louis Aragon, André Breton, Robert Desnos, Max Jacob, André Suarès, Antonin Artaud, Blaise Cendrars and Pierre Reverdy and donating two whole libraries to the Université de Paris, made up of several thousands of books and documents and now forming the Bibliothèque d'art et d'archéologie Jacques Doucet (now the library of the INHA) and the Bibliothèque littéraire Jacques Doucet respectively.
