Laval-Castellane mansion, Ethnographic museum in Laval-Castellane mansion, Arles, France
The Museon Arlaten presents collections of furniture, ceramics, tools, and farming implements that document daily life in Provence across different centuries.
Nobel Prize-winning poet Frédéric Mistral and Henri Eyssette established the museum in 1899 as a center for preserving Provençal traditions and heritage.
The museum labels were initially written in Provençal language, reflecting the commitment to maintaining regional linguistic and cultural traditions.
The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with free admission on the first Sunday of each month.
The Fèsto Vierginenco celebration of 1903 gathered 28 women wearing traditional Arles costumes, marking the beginning of a cultural preservation movement.
