Reattu Fine Arts Museum

Set in the 15th-century Grand Priory of the Knights of Malta, this museum features tapestries on the Seven Wonders of the World (1614), Van Gogh’s famous letter to Gaugin, 57 drawings donated by Picasso, and much more.

Arles’ fine arts museum, housed in the former Grand Priory of the Knights of Malta, is dedicated to showcasing fine arts, with a particular emphasis on the works of Jacques Réattu, an 18th-century painter who once owned the building.

It houses an extensive collection of Réattu’s paintings, 57 drawings donated by Picasso, who had a personal connection to Arles, and a notable collection of modern art. Look out for Réattu’s must-see masterpiece Portrait of a Young Man, tapestries on the Seven Wonders of the World (1614) and Van Gogh’s famous letter to Gaugin.
