Camargue Museum

The island of Camargue, between the Rhône and the Mediterranean, has an environment exceptional, the fruit of the meeting of fresh water with water salty and human activities that have developed there. The Park of Camargue aims to protect and bring this heritage to life natural, cultural and human to build the future of this territory. A museum It is at the Mas du Pont de Rousty that the Natural Park has installed the Museum of the Camargue, showcase of the territory. Renovated in 2013, in a logic sustainable development, the sheepfold, under its original framework, offers an immersion in the Camargue of yesterday and today with the permanent exhibition "The thread of water, the thread of time". Historical pieces, interactive, fun, sound installations, videos and contemporary works of art invite young and old to surfing between past, present and future, far from the clichés conveyed. An extension In 2019 the Camargue Museum expanded to offer a welcome larger, a temporary exhibition room and new services at his visitors. A path The experience can be extended thanks to the developed path which runs along the canal and rice fields to the marsh, passing by the hut of guardian. (3.5 km.
