This museum is dedicated to the Provencal writer Frédéric Mistral (1830-1914). The latter had three successive residences at Maillane. Forced to leave the mas of the Judge at the death of his father, he settled in the house of the Lizard with his mother before his notoriety allowed him to build his own house, which now houses the museum. This house, its garden and outbuildings are classified as historical monuments since November 10, 1930.
