Art et culture à Arles

Arles showcases a timeline of creative history, beginning with the 1st-century Roman Theatre and the extensive archaeological collections at the Musée de l'Arles antique. The city’s artistic evolution continues at the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh and the contemporary LUMA Arles complex, featuring Frank Gehry’s landmark tower. Smaller venues like Galerie de Poche and the repurposed industrial halls of Les Forges provide space for photography and local craftsmanship, while independent cinemas and theaters sustain the city's performing arts scene.
