Musée Granet

  Inaugurated in 1838, the Granet Museum is one of the most important museums in the region and has the "Musée de France" label. It is an institution of the city of Aix-en-Provence. It offers a tour covering more than 4,000 m², with a focus on paintings and sculptures. Nearly 750 works are on display, offering a vast panorama of artistic creation, from archaeology, the primitives and the Renaissance, with a particular focus on 19th century Provençal painting, to the masterpieces of modern and contemporary art from the exceptional Philippe Meyer donation, including paintings and sculptures by Alberto Giacometti. In addition to the landscape of Jas de Bouffan from the Meyer donation, the museum presents nine other oil paintings from the entire career of Paul Cézanne.
Since its renovation in 2006, the museum has regularly organised exhibitions of international importance. The Granet Museum is developing a dynamic policy for the public, considering that access to art and culture for all is a priority.
