Beautiful, very modern museum showing the history of the area. Saw this first and then went back after touring the entire area and historical sites around Arles. Had a bonus exhibition of Rodin sculptures.

The museum is in a striking builiding that is surrounded by parkland, ruins of a Roman circus, and a reproduction sensory garden. There are many sarcophagi, busts, and models of the structures in Arles as they would have appeared when intact. There are some mosaics presented. When we visited there was renovations going on, so the admission was gratis, but... More

A pleasant walk through Le Rocquet and along the river , and we arrived at this impressive modern... More

A very well laid out museum, for lovers ofl antique Roman marble sarcophagi. The Roman aristocracy were buried nearby in these amazing richly carved sarcophagi. There are other antique Roman objects found nearby, in Les Alpilles.

This museum was very easy to get around and beautifully showcased what was so great about the Roman empire. When we visited the Caesar's bust was not in the exhibit but there was plenty to see and experience. The pottery, the sarcophogi, the map of the old commercial trading routes, the mosaics - a must see for anyone who is... More

Beautiful museum - wide open and airy - closer to an modern day art museum with its natural lighting. Walk to this museum and enjoy the city. The sections on daily life and the economy in Roman times in Arles was very informative and well curated. The models recreating historic buildings and infrastructure in and around Arles are outstanding -... More

Are you able-bodied and do you read French fluently? If your answer to both of these is 'Yes', then this is an excellent museum for you.

The new museum has a lot of roman artifacts.. from statues to mosaic to grave and amphoras.. Very nice space with lots of room to wander and very interesting models of ancient arles.

I particularly liked the Roman artifacts here so I was blown away at the size of the place as I thought it would be very small. I thought the price of 6 euros was fair and worth every penny. If you like ancient art and Roman history you will love this place.
