It was generations of local scholars, collectors and donors, often heavily involved in politics on behalf of the Republic, who put together the Museum's collections. They came to together in a study society, the symbol of the curiosity, and the intellectual and economic vitality of Avallon, thereby facilitating the museum.
Through a wide range of works, including of their own making, such artists as the sculptors Loiseau-Bailly and Vigoureux and the goldsmith Després described the history of the Avallon region. It is also thanks to them that the Museum has some of the youthful works of Rouault, "Stella Matutina"; and "Stella Vespertina", which lead to obtaining the famous "Miserere"
