We were lucky enough to be staying practically next door to this museum so we had the chance to walk by every day. It is a good historical and archaeological museum with an actual archaeological site. The museum displays artifacts from the very ancient times, including the city's origins, from the Greek period, through to Roman times and until more recent times, up to, I think the 19th century. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you like history and archaeology.

My wife and I visited the Musee Departemental Arles Antique during our two day trip to Arles this past March. It is a wonderful museum with a large number of archeological pieces (statues, sarcophagi, base reliefs, mosaics, etc.). The best feature is the Roman barge that was dug out of the Rhône River and the video of its restoration. It is well worth spending 2 or 3 hours in to gain a better understanding of historic Arles.

This beautiful wine chateau, that produces delicious wine as well, has made art the other center of attention. A great way to spend your day is roaming their grounds and end it with a nice glass!!
4. Carrieres des Lumieres

4.5 based on 6,591 reviews
In the heart of Alpilles, the monumental “Carrieres de Lumieres” host extraordinary multimedia shows which are unique in the world. Spectators are totally immersed in the images projected onto all the surfaces of the rock. The ground is completely covered, too, and becomes a vast carpet of images. The site has reopened its doors with the show “Gauguin - Van Gogh, painters of colour,” created by Gianfranco Iannuzzi with Renato Gatto and Massimiliano Siccardi.

This was an absolutely stunning experience. We hadn't bought tickets so stood in line for about an hour but wow, was it ever worth it! Magical is about the best way I can describe it. When we attended it was showing the Van Gogh - a starry night and you were right within the beautiful Van Gogh paintings. An absolutely fantastic and must-see experience. The lovely thing is that it is a continuously playing show so you can stay for a while and just immerse yourself in the magic of the Arts and Music Immersive experience (AMIA) technology. You do NOT want to miss this if you are an art lover.

Centre de la Vieille Charite is an architecturally appealing building, having been built in a Baroque and classical style and having some beautiful Corinthian style columns all around. It dates to the 17th and 18th centuries and its purpose was to be a home caring for the poor. Today it serves as a museum and a cultural centre. We were not able to visit all areas of the centre, but only some parts. It's worth a visit if you can manage it, even from the street.

First thing to say is this is free to artists. Otherwise only 5euros. Just remember your art society membership card. When I visited the receptionist spoke great english and had spent time in the Uk including my home town of Edinburgh. There were 4 different art exhibitions. Contemporary but all very different styles. Plus an informative display with audio and videos included about Van Gogh. St Remy is on a Van Gogh trail with the St Pauls Sanitarium only a 1 klm walk away where VanGogh stayed for treatment and produced many works. The art in the gallery was a joy and the Van Gogh centre informative but dont expect any original work of his. Look carefully for opening times as well as those of the sanitorium, prior to organising your visit. Recommended
