Small museum in a beautiful spot of the city. Overall interesting pictures of Picasso working in his studio. A nice selection of paintings and sculptures from his last period. Smaller expositions of other artists are visible too

Really interesting gallery, there are plaques on the wall detailing Picasso’s time at his studio in Antibes, along with a collection of his work from this era. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Amazing location and views of the water from this museum as well.
