Grévin Museum of Provence - Museum in Salon de Provence
 

The Grévin Museum of Provence
 

Opened in July 1992 under the patronage of Jean-Pierre Foucault and Mireille Mathieu, the Grévin Museum of Provence gives it fair due to Woman and Water, the two sources of fertility.

Situated in the historic center of Salon de Provence, the Grévin Museum of Provence is a veritable museum of history : from the founding of Marseille 600 years before Jesus Christ to the films by Marcel Pagnol, without forgetting the Félibres poetic circle. It pays homage to the great men of Provence, such as the King René, Adam de Craponne, Paul Cézanne, Jean Henri Fabre, Frédéric Mistral and many others...

The tour is audioguided (languages available : French, English, German, Spanish, Italian and Provençal) and lasts 40 minutes. It's a fabulous journey in time through sixteen soundtracked scenes, scented and with many special effects : the blowing of the Mistral wind, the songs of the cicadas, the fragrances of the garrigue...

The Grévin museum of Provence has been built all on one level and is thus accessible to the handicapped and people with difficulties walking. Granted the Handicap Tourism label in 2006.

Four exhibitions per year add spice to this journey into history (diverse themes treated : gastronomy, literature, costume and dress, traditions) - projection room, nursery school, primary and secondary educational materials in French and English.

At the end of the tour, the boutique offers souvenirs, foamy (the authentic soap Marseille), fragrant (lavender essential oil) and informative (books and documents about Provence).
