Museums

THE WORLD EXPLORATIONS MUSEUM

Located in the heights of Le Suquet, 1 km from the hotel, the Musée de la Castre is set in the former citadel of the Abbots of Lérins.

You will find exhibits of Egyptian, Phoenician, Greek and Roman antiquities as well as paintings by local artists retracing the history of the city of Cannes as well as a set of musical instruments from around the world.

From there, you can admire the incredible panorama over the various districts of the city as far as the Lérins Islands.

LA MALMAISON ART CENTER

Located on Boulevard de la Croisette, the Malmaison was converted into a museum space in 1983 and then renovated in 1993.

The garden level now hosts two major exhibitions a year, regularly honoring renowned painters such as Matisse, Ozenfant or Picasso (for whom the Côte d’Azur was a source of inspiration), as well as internationally renowned 20th and 21st century artists such as Miro, Masson, César and the Chinese painter Chu Teh-Chun.

These prestigious and contemporary collections are enhanced by the intimate character of the place and by its lounges with charming house proportions.

UNDERWATER ECOMUSEUM BY JASON DECAIRES TAYLOR

New in Cannes

The first submarine ecomuseum in France and the Mediterranean
Submerged at a distance ranging from 84 to 132 meters from the shore and at a depth of 3 to 5 meters, the sculptures are accessible to the greatest number of divers simply equipped with a mask and a snorkel.

Free access and protected by a ban on the anchoring of ships.

The theme of the masks, chosen by the artist in collaboration with the City of Cannes, is an echo to the history and cultural heritage of the city by referring to the famous “Iron Mask”, famous prisoner locked in the prison of State of Sainte-Marguerite Island from 1687 to 1698.
