A promenade in time and space, its permanent exhibition has been conceived with the objective of helping to understand, and respect, the present day landscapes, natural and human, of the part of Provence between the Rhône, the Durance river and the southern limits of the Alpilles mountain chain. It evokes the diverse facets of the region's heritage: old fauna (fossiles) and existing (cicadas), exploitation of the subsoil (quarries and pottery), thousand year old agricultural and trade activities (olives, grapevines, cereal, sheep) and more recent (teasel, seeds, fruit and vegetables), costumes and traditional festivals, Camargue type bullfights.
The graphic and photographic arts exhibition room, as well as the typography and engraving workshop, expresses the establishment's new orientation towards works on paper and contemporary engraving.
The Alpilles Museum is a museum of society. It's cited discipline is ethnology. One of its major concerns consists in the development of popular arts.
