GOING TO THE MUSEUM

The great variety of museums in Antibes provide a great deal of information and knowledge while at the same time evoking emotion and feelings.

Many topics link the various museums such as similar themes and their chronology. The different displays and collections cover such subjects as the everyday life of people in ancient times, fortified building architecture between the Middle Ages and the 17th century, the Napoleonic campaigns, highly individual 21st century art and the interaction between our collective history which is highlighted in the collections of cartoons and caricatures.

Going to the museum also involves a pleasant stroll in a leafy garden, looking out from the tower of the Napoleonic Museum, a walk along the ramparts and around the Bastion Saint André which houses the Archaeology Museum, or a wander around the old town where the Peynet and Cartoon Museum and La Tour Museum are to be found, and along the port to the walls of Fort Carré and the view of the sea from up on the hill.

A family outing
To encourage family visits and interest teenagers, the museums in Antibes are free for children and teenagers under 18 years.

The general public section

Antibes council has a special section that organises cultural and learning activities for the general public throughout the museums in the town. This section is part of the museum management sector.

In each venue, mediators greet visitors and guided tours are available which give added information on work and items on display. Mediators plan the tours to best express the great artistic, historic and cultural heritage importance of what is on show.
