Tapestry Museum

What to expect

The woven wonders of the tapestries in the Tapestry Museum in Aix-en-Provence are not the only reason to visit this delightful museum. Visitors can also enjoy the beauty of this former archbishop's palace with its impressive galleries and vaulted ceilings. The Tapestry Museum houses some of the finest tapestries ever made in France, mostly from the 17th and 18th centuries. These works of art bring to vivid life the adventures of Don Quixote and ancient gods, among many others. The museum also displays a large number of preparatory sketches, giving a glimpse into the complex and varied techniques behind every tapestry. To ensure the easiest possible visit, remember to book your ticket in advance with Ticketeaser.
