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. Early 17th century (1619) façade, in right-hand corner. Note the fine decorative frieze of lions' muzzles. Late 18th century façade, with entrance-door surmounted by a fine caryatid of bearded man supporting a graceful, wrought-iron balcony on his shoulders, against the right-hand lateral wall. _Opposite the Museum is the_ =Prefecture=.
