The museum also contains interesting drawings by Puvis de Chavannes and a fine collection of drawings by the Brothers Duthoit of Amiens (1820-1870). In these latter drawings, more than 5,000 in number, are portrayed the towns and villages of Picardy, as they appeared before the disappearance of the local traditions and customs. This collection was seriously damaged by bombardment.
Several old houses of Amiens, saved from ruin by the Antiquarian Society of Picardy, have been rebuilt in the Museum grounds, viz.:
Late 15th century house with visible timber-work in left-hand corner.
