Finally, paintings of the second half of the 18th century and the 9th century: Joseph Vernet, Turpin de Crissé, Joseph Bidauld... On the ground floor, there are popular traditions: seals, coins and medals evoke the history of Comtat Venaissin under the aegis of Saint-Siège. But also comtadines headdress, Provençal crèches, bird calls, weights and measures as well as cowbells for the Comtat customs; ex-voto dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-Santé, and donation of the Mont-de-piété witness of religious fervour. A very complete museum to learn more about Carpentras of the past centuries.
