Picasso Museum: reviews and practical tips

If you are in old Antibes and have an hour to kill, the museum can be a good option. The building is pretty, and the view from the terrace is truly splendid. As for the exhibition, there are a few interesting pieces, but overall the visit is quick, you go all the way through in under an hour, for a price of 12€. I am not particularly a fan of Picasso so naturally I am not really the target audience for his art, but as an Antibes local I felt I had to go see for myself. However, finishing with the terrace lets you wrap up the visit on a more positive note, which I recommend! It is also worth checking out what temporary exhibition is on, as that can easily influence your decision to visit (there is a Claude Picasso photo exhibit running until January 2027 currently).

Located in the beautiful Château Grimaldi, this small museum highlights Picasso's time in Antibes. It features paintings, but also sketches and some beautiful sculptures. I was a little disappointed by the number of works, because only one floor is dedicated to the painter. The other rooms are reserved for temporary exhibits, which weren't very exciting on the day of my visit. On the other hand, the outdoor terrace is magnificent and offers a superb view of the city. Go if you like Picasso and to enjoy the panorama. One hour is more than enough for a visit.
