The Maurice Pezet Museum is a local history museum located in the Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs, in the old village of Eygalières.
The Musée Maurice Pezet, named after its founder, is a museum of local history and ethnography that has been open to the public since 1967.
It is managed and run by volunteers from the association ‘Les Amis du Vieil Eygalières’, which was responsible for restoring the 16th-century Chapelle des Pénitents Blanc, which houses the museum.
Visitors can discover
- a collection of Palaeolithic, Neolithic (from local excavations), Iron Age and Gallo-Roman artefacts,
- an exhibition of farming tools, accompanied by old photos, documents and fossils,
