Housed in the former Grand Priory of the Order of Malta, the Musée Réattu is a fascinating art museum of Arles. The splendid museum has a large collection of striking sculptures, breathtakingly beautiful photographs and captivating painting by the famous French painter, Jacques Réattu and Picasso.

The location of the museum itself is a fascination. The old 15th century building of the Grand Priory looks as a part of the museum’s collection. Established in 1868, the museum largely revolves around Réattu’s works and the collections include Contemporary Reattu, Pioneer Reattu and Reattu Monument. Throughout the years, various people have contributed in the evolution of art in this museum. The museum now consists of 

• Great examples of medieval art, contemporary art and sound art.
• Twelve exhibition rooms that soulfully exhibit about 800 striking artworks.
• A collection of photographs which is a boggling number of 4000 and each holds a prominence which can’t be stolen.
