Musée Réattu

Musée Réattu Review

Three rooms of this museum are dedicated to local painter Jacques Réattu's turn-of-the-19th-century ephemera, but come for the decent collection of 20th-century art including some daubs by Dufy and Gauguin. There's also an impressive 57 drawings done by Picasso in 1971, including one delightfully tongue-in-cheek depiction of noted muse and writer Lee Miller in full Arles dress. They were donated to Arles by Picasso himself, to thank the town for amusing him with the bullfights. The best thing about the Réattu may be the building itself—a Knights of Malta priory dating from the 15th century.
