The Museum of Cultures and Landscape (Musée des Cultures et du Paysage) is located in a striking neoclassical building that once served as the Banque de France. The museum offers a deep dive into the identity of Hyères, exploring how its landscapes, from the salt marshes to the hills, have shaped local culture and art. Exhibits feature paintings, photographs, and artifacts that trace the evolution of the city and its surroundings. One gallery focuses on the development of the Hyères peninsula, while another highlights the role of the salt industry. Temporary exhibitions often showcase contemporary artists inspired by the region. The museum's elegant interior, with high ceilings and original bank vault details, adds to the experience. A small garden café provides a pleasant spot to reflect.
