The Musée d'Angoulême collection is predated by the collection of the Archaeological and Historical Society of the Charente, which in 1845 established a collection in the former castle of the counts of Angoulême. When the castle was demolished to make way for the new city hall the collection was moved to the basement of the Palace of Justice, then in 1876 to a large room on the ground floor of the new city hall. After World War II (1939–45) it was moved to a large house on the Rue de Montmoreau. The city's collection is much richer in prehistory and protohistory, but the Society has a much richer lapidary collection and many medieval and renaissance artifacts such as pottery, enamels, glass, pewter and so on.
