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. The museum 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 Egyptian 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 Meyer donation, including works by Alberto Giacometti and paintings that mark out 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.
