OKHRA – Écomusée de l'Ocre

Didier Amadori, via ôkhra

Interior of ôkhra (Okhra): the ochre ecomuseum painting workshops in Roussillon, Provence, France.

This art center is a great place to see ocher in action. Occupying a disused ocher factory on the D104 east of Roussillon, it explores the mineral’s properties through hands-on workshops and guided tours of the factory. The shop upstairs stocks paint pigments and other artists’ supplies.

Bikes can also be rented here.
