The Museum of Art and Archeology of Périgord, often abbreviated MAAP, is a municipal museum located in Périgueux. It is the oldest museum in the Dordogne department and it includes over 2,000 square metres of permanent exhibition.

A first museum was established in 1804 in the city's Jesuit chapel by Count Wlgrin de Taillefer. In 1808, the increasing collection was moved to the Vomitorium of the arena of Périgueux and thence took the name of Vésunien Museum. Count Wlgrin de Taillefer died on February 2, 1833. In his will, he bequeathed his antiquities to Joseph de Mourcin, provided they be deposited in a museum which was to be built near the tower of Vésone, or in a museum in Paris.
