MUSEUMS
Musée Estrine
The museum is housed in a very beautiful private mansion, the Hôtel Estrine, built in 1749. Exceptional testimony to Provençal architecture in the 18th century, it was the residence of the representatives of the Princes of Monaco, who were lords of Saint-Rémy in from Louis XIII. The public collection of the Estrine Museum, an associative museum labeled "Musée de France" by the Ministry of Culture in 2007, is now kept there and presented to the public. It is dedicated to painting and graphic arts of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Annual closure. Reopening on Saturday February 18, 2023
Open everyday save Monday.
Musée Alpilles
Located in the historic center, the Alpilles museum is housed in the Mistral de Mondragon hotel, a former private mansion from the Renaissance period. Listed as a Historic Monument since 1862, the building is built around an admirable inner courtyard.
Ethnology…
An essential player in a rich and living memory, the Alpilles museum strives to make sensitive and intelligible everything that forms the foundations of the culture of Saint-Rémoise and more generally of the territory of the Alpilles. Its varied collections, essentially made up of everyday objects, illustrate the close relationship between man and nature.
… and graphic arts
The route underlines the artistic attractiveness of the territory, revealing among the internationally renowned works born here, the remarkable work of discreet, anonymous or locally renowned creators. Contemporary prints are particularly represented in the graphic arts space developed around the typography workshop. Engraving artists from the south-east of France are regularly exhibited alongside works from the museum's old collection.

Saint Paul de Mausole cloister
At the foot of the Alpilles, next to the Roman ruins of GLANUM, there was, since about the year one thousand, a monastery containing a pretty Romanesque cloister where monks from different congregations succeeded one another.
Each of them devoted itself, among other things, to caring for those who had had the misfortune to fall into dementia.
The painter Vincent VAN GOGH was treated from May 8, 1889 to May 16, 1890.
Thanks to the humanity and the innovative methods of his care practiced by Doctor PEYRON and by the nuns of that time, this artist was able to continue and strengthen his considerable work during his stay in Saint-Paul de Mausole. This has since resulted in national notoriety on the psychiatric level and international on the cultural level.

Garden and reproductions on the places of their creations.
11th and 12th century cloister and Romanesque church.
