Museum, Fine Arts, Painting, Sculpture, Private museum in Aix-en-Provence
14,5 Full-fare
  • The Hôtel de Caumont is one of the rare urban residences in Aix "between courtyard and garden" which, by reminding us of castles in the middle of their parks, allowed their owners to show their aristocracy.

  • A new art center opens in one of the most beautiful eighteenth century mansions in Aix-en-Provence.

    As of May 6, 2015, the Caumont Art Centre presents an ambitious cultural program putting the fine arts in the spotlight.

    Located close to the Cours Mirabeau, it is currently undergoing a complete restoration that will restore it to its former glory. Visitors will discover two annual exhibitions dedicated to the great masters of the past as well as to contemporary artists.
