This museum is located in an old oil mill built in 1772. It ceased all activity after the terrible frost of 1956, which destroyed a large part of the olive trees in the region.
More than 200 women's, men's and children's clothes and everyday accessories make up the permanent exhibition.
The collection covers the period from 1800 to 1915, a fatal period for Provençal clothing replaced by Parisian fashion.
The interior architecture of the "blood mill", (mill whose millstones could be turned by both men and animals), its six press vaults, its typical Provençal kitchen with its vegetable garden (stove), as well as very beautiful Indian pieces, the wedding dress which in Provence before 1850 was not white but olive-green, will tell you about the beautiful traditions of the region.
