The Picasso Museum of Antibes is located in the former Acropolis of the ancient Greek city of Antibes. The Grimaldi family lived in the castle until the early 17th century. In 1925, the city of Antibes bought the castle and turned it into a museum of history and archaeology. It was not until 1966 that the name was changed to the Picasso Museum, becoming the first museum to be established for an artist while he was still alive, and while living in Antibes, Picasso completed many works (paintings, drawings, tapestries, ).

Show More ReviewsThe Picasso Museum (Le musée Picasso) is one of the art attractions that cannot be missed here. It was formerly the 12th-century Grimaldi Castle (Le château Grimaldi). In 1946, Picasso came to the Cote d'Azur and lived in the Grimaldi Castle for 6 months. Later, he turned it into the Picasso Museum for everyone to visit. Compared with the Picasso Museums in Paris, Barcelona, Malaga and other places, the Picasso Museum in Antibes seems a bit niche, but it is enough to let you know about the painter's idle years in southern France. Ticket price: 8 euros Transportation: Bus No. 200 between Nice and Cannes and the Nice train can also go to Antibes.
