Antibes

The ancient walled city is one of the liveliest and most beautiful on the Riviera with its laid-back beach atmosphere, thriving port and delightful old town with narrow cobbled streets, markets and cafés.
Famous for being the home of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, Antibes has certainly seen its share of glitz, glamor and touches of the avant-garde throughout the 20th century.

Picasso Museum

The Pablo Picasso Museum, founded in 1946, is located in the Grimaldi Castle.
The place was not chosen by chance - it was there that the founder of Cubism created his works.
In Antibes, Picasso came for inspiration and received it in full.
For about six months, the old meter painted canvases in the walls of the castle, and then simply disappeared.
However, he left behind a good creative legacy in the form of 25 paintings dedicated to the cape and the city itself.
Nowadays, in addition to them, the museum also stores other works of art - interesting photographs, ceramics, graphics, paintings, lithographs, works of famous world artists.
