Museum Hôtel d'Agar, Cavaillon
Listed as a historical monument, this stately home, adorned with an outstanding garden and Roman temple, is located at the heart of the ancient city of Cavaillon and hosts exhibitions all year around. It is a real cabinet of curiosities in its unique combination of ancient art with contemporary; on display are prehistoric objects, archaeological excavations from antiquity and the Middle Ages, Renaissance paintings, sculptures, photographs, and installations. At the same time, visitors can also discover Renaissance-era roofs, a 15th-century Gothic tower with gargoyles, the oldest Grecian statue discovered in Provence (550 BC, discovered on St Jacques' Hill), the oldest pharmacy equipment in France and a reliquary bust of Pope Urban V. Archaeological excavations have determined that the garden is 2000 years old - probably the oldest in France.
