Museum with a rich collection on Petrarch and Renaissance humanism

Founded in 1927, the museum exhibits a rich collection of works by Petrarch and Renaissance humanism: iconography of drawings and prints on Petrarch, Laure, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse and a collection of early editions of his works and those of French and Italian Petrarchists. There is also a specialized library, open by appointment, and a small collection of modern engravings, which brings together around René Char's texts those he called his "substantial allies".

Musée fermé en été le mardi et le mercredi (décision déjà bien inspirée). Qu'à cela ne tienne : nous venons un jeudi et attendons l'ouverture, prévue à 11 heures : RIEN.

The visit to the museum was very interesting.
It can be carried out with the support of a practical audio guide and a small "map" on which the various contributions (with attached number) for each floor of the building are enumerated.
Anyway, all the details you may need are kindly provided by the lady working at the front desk.
The ground floor is dedicated to the René Char and the big names of contemporary art.
On the first floor visitors can enjoy a collection of portraits of Francesco Petrarca and his beloved Laura, along with a series of old editions and prints, from the 15th to the 19th century, of the poet's work (Canzoniere, Trionfi, etc).
Many drawings and engravings restore the ancient image of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, a place of inspiration for Petrarca who rightly praised its “chiare, fresche et dolci acque”.????

Only flaw: the temporary inaccessibility to the garden.

In all together, highly recommended.????
