Picasso Museum, Antibes

Montée Dor de la Souchère, Antibes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Description

The Picasso Museum in Antibes includes a collection of paintings, ceramics and drawings from Pablo Picasso, many of which date from the time when his workshop was located in the building (1946). There are also galleries exhibiting work from Anna-Eva Bergman and Hans Hartung, and a modern art collection. The museum is housed in a castle previously called Château Grimaldi and built in the late 14h century as a residence for members of the House of Grimaldi (associated with the Republic of Genoa and the Principality of Monaco).

Access & Transport

Address: Place Mariejol, Antibes There is rapid drop-off points that can be used for handicapped visitors. The museum is 1km from Antibes train station, on the Marseille-Nice-Ventimiglia line. By car, it is 23km southwest of Nice along the coastline and it is a short 12km to Cannes.

Instructions & Recommendations

There is a combined ticket priced at 10 € that provides access to all the municipal museums of Antibes for 7 days. We suggest combining this activity with some time at the beach in Antibes / Juan-les-Pins and/or a visit of Cannes

Meta review

Based on online reviews visitors overall enjoy their visit there, stating that the collection is of average size (which works well for families) and housed in a beautiful castle with great sea views. Given this is modern and contemporary art mostly, opinions as to the "quality" of the works on display vary significantly.

Environmental & Social

Minor environmental impact to run the museum (mostly electricity). Spreads culture and the arts

The Picasso Museum brings together an enjoyable modern and contemporary art collection in a prime setting. We recommend the museum to anybody looking for a cultural opportunity in the Antibes & Cannes area

Key positive

Not a large collection and no world-famous masterpiece
