Housed in a 17th-century mansion, the Musee Estienne de Saint-Jean, more commonly referred to as the Museum of the Old Aix, was established in 1932 by Marie d’Estienne de Saint-Jean to be the town’s history museum. Visitors will have better insight into the history and traditions of Aix-en-Provence after viewing its comprehensive collection of art and artifacts spanning from furniture to traditional figurines, puppets and so much more. Exquisite highlights include the screen from the Corpus Christi procession and the 17th-century work of Italian art intended for the baptistery of Saint Peter’s in Rome by G.B. Gaulli.
