Picasso Museum (Musée Picasso) Tours and Tickets

The Picasso Museum in Antibes is a small art gallery that is mostly dedicated to the works of Pablo Picasso. You can find it behind the covered food market Marche Provençal in a medieval building called the Château Grimaldi, in which Picasso himself once rented a room to paint and sketch.

The Picasso Museum in Antibes is open year-round from mid-morning until early evening, Tuesday through Sunday. In the off-peak months, it closes for an hour lunch break in the middle of each day. While ticket prices aren’t expensive, entry is free in the first week of November and the first week of February.

You can browse a modern art exhibition, and see various Picasso originals, like sketches, paintings, and sculptures at the Picasso Museum. If you’re interested to know more about the art and the artist as you browse, plug in the audio guide to hear some facts. There’s also a terrace, which is loved for its sea views.

The Picasso Museum in Antibes is home to around 200 works by Picasso, along with pieces by other artists such as Germaine Richier, whose sculptures feature as a permanent collection on the terrace. Examples of other often-featured painters here include the abstract artists Hans Hartnung and Nicolas de Staël.

The Picasso Museum is small, and there are no on-site eating options. You don’t have to go far to find food though—the covered food market is just around the corner, which is open until lunchtime, and there are many eateries around Antibes’ port area and old town.

Yes, there are guided tours of the Picasso Museum that can be arranged directly with the museum, or booked as part of a walking tour or art excursion. If you prefer to browse the museum at your own pace, you can get the lowdown on the art from an audio guide.
