It houses the country&#8217;s largest collection of works by Mir\u00f3 and Giacometti, with more than 13,000 works in total, as well as <em>*The Life<\/em> of Marc Chagall*, his largest painting.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We loved strolling through the Mir\u00f3 Labyrinth and coming across Giacometti\u2019s sculptures in the open air, beneath the umbrella pines designed by architect Josep Llu\u00eds Sert.

Our review<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mus\u00e9e Picasso, renamed in honor of the Spanish painter in 1966, is the town&#8217;s most important museum. It is housed in a 14th-century castle, formerly the residence of bishops in the Middle Ages, a Roman castrum, and the acropolis of the Greek city of Antipolis. After it became the Antibes Museum in 1925, Pablo Picasso set up his studio there in 1946 at the curator\u2019s suggestion, before returning to Paris.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Productions from this period formed the basis of the museum&#8217;s collection, which was subsequently enriched by works by other artists such as Joan Mir\u00f3, Bernard Pag\u00e8s and Nicolas de Sta\u00ebl. We were delighted to rediscover these great names in contemporary art!<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-museum-picasso-antibes\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"5776\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read our dedicated article!<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Antibes\/Mus%C3%A9es\/n-ct9xvQ\/Mus%C3%A9e-Picasso\/i-zRZ95HR\/0\/ffa14389\/L\/Antibes-museepicasso-ceramiques-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the ceramics at the Mus&#xE9;e Picasso.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-antibes-france-visit\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"3279\">the city<\/a> of<a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-antibes-france-visit\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"3279\">Antibes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Tuesday through Sunday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Included in the Antibes-Juan-les-Pins Museum Pass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Length of visit: 1 to 2 hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Link to the official museum website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antibes-juanlespins.com\/sorties-loisirs\/antibes-ville-de-culture\/les-musees\/le-musee-picasso\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.

Located in the heart of Old Antibes, this museum showcases the work of cartoonist Raymond Peynet (1908\u20131999) alongside that of some thirty other cartoonists, including Daumier, Plantu, and Semp\u00e9.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peynet owes his worldwide fame to the couple he drew in 1943, later renamed &#8220;The Lovers&#8221; and recreated as a sculpture at the Hiroshima Memorial as an international symbol of peace.

Our review<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located high up in the Suquet district, this museum focuses on primitive art, Orientalism and Mediterranean antiquities. Formerly known as the Mus\u00e9e de la Castre, it was installed in the remains of the castle of the same name.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Classified as a historic monument, it was built in the 11th century. It&#8217;s one of the oldest historic sites in Cannes! We really enjoyed exploring this place, and especially taking in the 360\u00b0 view of the entire city and the bay.  <br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-museum-explorations-monde-chateau-castre-cannes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more in our article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Cannes\/n-cSNNdV\/Panorama-sur-la-ville\/i-nBvVdVk\/0\/8ba2e42d\/L\/vue%20place%20castre%20cannes-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"panorama from the tower\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-cannes-france\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"3418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cannes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for children<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  You should allow 45 minutes to 1 hour to visit the museum and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Closed on Mondays, except in July and August<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit the official website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cannes.com\/fr\/culture\/musees-et-expositions\/musee-des-explorations-du-monde.html#fiche-annuaire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15.
