Museum preserving a rich collection testifying to the life of Nîmes since the early Middle Ages, installed in the former episcopal palace.

Housed in the former episcopal palace, the Musée du Vieux Nîmes retraces local daily life from the High Middle Ages onwards, with nearly 30,000 exhibits. The thematic tour features decorative arts, typical Nîmes and Cévennes furniture, regional pottery and rich 18th-century textile collections. An entire room is dedicated to the famous toile de Nîmes, blue dyeing and the origins of denim. This sensitive, well-documented museum elegantly combines Nîmes' heritage, know-how and identity.

Avant tout, un bâtiment d'une grande élégance, qui renferme un musée pas vieillot du tout. L'équipe de personnel est très accueillante et n'hésite pas à donner des renseignements, même dans le cas des expositions temporaires, ce qui est assez rare et donc à souligner.

J’ai souhaité visiter l’exposition merveilleuse de Jeanne Vicerial & Soulages de la Contemporaine, il était 17:50 me pensant large au niveau temps vu que le musée ferme à 18:30, on m’a refusé l’entrée, les hôtesses d’accueil considèrent l’heure trop tardive. Grosse déception.
J’y retourne & on me traite comme un enfant devant les œuvres.
L’accueil est aussi un art…

Visite surprenante " entre soulages et vicieral" un dialogue improbable entre le maître et son élève. Tout simplement magnifique.
