Musee du Vieux Nimes

The Musée du Vieux Nîmes, established in 1920, is dedicated to preserving the tools of local industries and artifacts of regional life. Located in the former Bishop's Palace near the Cathédrale Saint-Castor, the museum offers a glimpse into domestic life in Nîmes since the end of the Middle Ages. A notable feature is its exhibit on 'serge de Nîmes,' the cloth that gave denim its name, alongside collections of pottery, furniture, and beautiful shawls. The museum's collection showcases the evolution of Nîmes' industries and cultural heritage.
