Aix-en-Provence history museum housed in a townhouse, with a variety of collections on display.
In 1932, the town's history museum was created in a 17th-century town house. A majestic wrought-iron staircase and colorful decorations are just some of the features on display. The collections, built up from donations made by the museum's founder, Marie d'Estienne de Saint-Jean, evoke Aix's past. Furniture, earthenware, santons, craftsmen's objects and talking crib puppets are all on display. Another highlight of the museum is a modello by Gaulli, a model of his design for the baptistery of St. Peter's in Rome.

Bien que le musée soit relativement petit et se visite rapidement, il est remarquable pour son authenticité et son témoignage du patrimoine culturel de la ville.
