In the aftermath of the French Revolution, regional particularities got stronger and Provencal costumes, with their unique social codes and functions, entered into a golden age. A tribute to harvests, nature and country folk (païsano in Provencal dialect) between the late 18th and early 20th century, the Provencal Costume & Jewelry Museum is showcasing typical rural wear alongside 19th century works by the Provencal School and in situ tableau vivant photographic works, featuring popular costumes from private collections. The exhibits echo each other, forming a meaningful whole in a region where traditional clothing remains part of 21st century living heritage.
