This museum, where modern art plays an important role, was the residence of a branch of the Grimaldi family in the Middle Ages

This museum, integrated into the superb Grimaldi castle, was the residence of a branch of the family in the Middle Ages before being transformed into a town hall during the French revolution. From 1820 to 1924, it was used as a barracks. The castle was acquired by the city of Antibes in 1925 to house a regional historical and archaeological museum. Twenty years later, its curator invited Pablo Picasso to set up his studio there. The artist, in love with the French Riviera, accepted this offer and set to work with enthusiasm. When he left, he left behind some of his drawings and paintings such as La Joie de vivre, Satyre, faune et centaure au trident, Le Gobeur d'oursins, La Femme aux oursins, Nature morte à la chouette et aux trois oursins, La Chèvre... In the following years, the museum's collections were enriched by other creations of the brilliant artist, in particular ceramics designed in the Madoura workshop in Vallauris.

In 1966, the site was renamed the Musée Picasso, the first institution in France to be so named. A new collection of the museum is dedicated to Nicolas de Staël. Modern art still plays an important role in this beautiful museum, represented by pieces from a donation from the Hans Hartung and Anna-Eva Bergman Foundation as well as paintings and sculptures by other artists. Most of the trends of the last hundred years are present.

You can enjoy a drink in the museum's shady café, which offers a superb view of the Cap d'Antibes.

Musée PICASSO
Le musée est situé sur les remparts de la vieille ville, superbe vue de la terrasse. Concept étonnant, peu de toile par salle. Belle collection de céramiques.
L'entrée est un peu chère pour le temps passé sur place, moins d'une heure.

Peut mieux faire
L’accès au musée est plutôt mal signalé depuis le cours Masséna pour les piétons ... dommage pour les PMR... À propos du personnel cela dépend... je dirais que deux tiers sont aimables gentils et souriants, et qu’un tiers a dû se lever du pied gauche...
Nous avons regretté « l’absence « de toilettes - signalée dès l’entrée... mais ça c’etait vraiment original ! Et inédit... A part ça , bien la cour fraiche, le chat fétiche, la terrasse. et bien sûr les œuvres qui valent vraiment le déplacement... Les Picasso bien sûr, et la dernière toile de Nicolas de Stael ( ses autres toiles sont absentes )... Bien aussi, certains H

sans parler de la collection, le batiment et sa situation dans le Viel Antibes et en bord de mer sont absolument magnifiques.
