The Museo del Valle de Arán, also known as Musèu dera Val d'Aran, is a regional museum located in Viella. It is dedicated to the history, art, ethnography, and ethnology of the Aran Valley. The museum is housed in a late Gothic-style manor house known as the Torre del general Martinón. It also occupies the Casa Joanchiquet in Vilamós and the church of San Juan de Artiés. The museum's main objective is to preserve the Aranese culture in all its aspects, through the different stages and epochs of the Aran Valley.

On the first floor, there is a large audiovisual and an interactive map explaining the geography of the Aran Valley. The second floor houses a collection of artistic and archaeological pieces, including the Christ of Escuñau and the Christ of Casarill, as well as a series of ancient ceramic vessels found in the Aran Valley.
