The Museon Arlaten, the Museum of Provence, in Arles, has undergone a complete architectural and museographic renovation. Its reopening is accompanied by the publication of a guide to the permanent exhibition, whose itinerary has been redesigned without distorting the charm and spirit of a museum that is more than a century old. A new, widely illustrated, general-interest work published in several languages, it showcases the renewed museography, the original atmospheres and presentations of the collections, and invites you on a journey to Provence.
Opened in 1899 and created by Nobel Prize winner Frédéric Mistral, the Museon Arlaten is one of the first regional ethnography museums in France. When it closed for renovations in 2009, it emerged as a surprising "museum of the museum," with some exhibits having been preserved since their creation in the early 20th century.
The renovation has enabled the restoration of a multifaceted monument, colorful architectural creations to improve visitor comfort and the presentation of the collections, as well as subtle and elegant museographic innovations to highlight a Provençal heritage exceptional in its richness and diversity.
The book translates the new Museon Arlaten into words and images and offers an up-to-date interpretation of the museum and its collections. It evokes the architecture of the building and its thousand-year history, retraces the visitor's journey, step by step, while shedding light on the works and objects, their historical, economic, cultural and social contexts and places the museum at the heart of a century-old human adventure, from its creation in the 19th century to its renovation today.
