The museum houses a large collection of antiquities, including monumental Roman sculptures from the local region. Among the exhibits is a model of the multiple overshot water mills which existed at Barbegal, and have been referred to as "the greatest known concentration of mechanical power in the ancient world".[2]
The Arles Rhône 3, an ancient Roman boat discovered in 2011, is on display since 2013.[3]
