Created in 1919, this museum is located inside a former townhouse, the Hôtel Mistral de Montdragon, which dates from the Renaissance period and is classified as an historical landmark.

An architectural specimen of great quality, the building boasts a remarkable interior courtyard. Its collections are divided into four sections: archaeology, natural sciences, ethnology, graphic arts and photography.

The exhibition offers a journey through time and space and was conceived with the intention of fostering an understanding and respect of today's natural and human landscapes in this portion of Provence that lies between the Rhone, the Durance, and the southern limit of the Alpilles mountains.
