Lonely Planet review for Musée de l'Arles et de la Provence Antique

The fabulous story of Roman Arles takes centre stage at the state-of-the-art showpiece Musée de l'Arles et de la Provence Antiques. Within the triangular structure, which is fronted by a striking cobalt-blue façade, you can trace the area's evolution from 2500 BC through to the end of antiquity in the 6th century AD, or hone in on thematic aspects of trade, the economy and day-to-day life.

Highlights include Roman statues, artefacts, and a renowned assortment of early Christian sarcophagi from the 4th century.

    great collection antiquities

    melyuan recommends this,

    This area of France is thick with Roman ruins, so it's nice to stop somewhere for some context. Check out the mosaics - a highlight.
