Museon Arlaten

It is located in Arles, at 29, rue de la République, and it is housed in the 15th century hôtel particulier Laval-Castellane,[1] now a monument historique.

With the help of Jules Charles-Roux and Jeanne de Flandreysy, he established a gallery with statues from the Antiquity found on the grounds of the museum.

And it is this love of humble people, this profound sense of equality, this respect for the spirit of the people, this magnificent understanding of its greatness that motivated Mistral to build a museum to house all the modest objects of daily life,... a museum for everything that makes up the originality, the flavor of Provençal life.

"[4] In 1903, Mistral and the Museon Arlaten organized the first "Fèsto Vierginenco," where 28 young women of Arles pledged to wear the clothing that had become the identifiable "traditional costume" of the city.

The museum has an important collection of Provençal folk art, displaying furniture, costumes, ceramics, tools and farming implements.
