    A celebration of Mediterranean landscapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As you walk through the museum’s doors, you enter a parallel world, so immersive is the permanent exhibition. Nearly 200 works retrace 2000 years of the city’s history through the evolution of its landscapes, shaped over the ages by man. The scenography of artistic installations is visual, interactive and sometimes even olfactory. Smell the lavender and listen to the memories and anecdotes of Hy\u00e8res’ most emblematic figures. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

    Varied scenographic spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Under this immense, light-flooded glass roof, the orange patio is an ode to Provence. Like one of Proust’s madeleines, the ubiquitous colorful citrus trees whisper of the agricultural past for which Hy\u00e8res is famous. A little further on, the glass room lets in natural light on huge paintings, extending the exhibition space. On the first floor, temporary exhibitions cover 500 m\u00b2. From one exhibition to the next, the Mus\u00e9e de la Banque offers a perfect scenography. In the basement, the vault remains authentic. Completely restored, it takes you back in time. You’ll notice that box no. 13 doesn’t exist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
