The Picasso Museum occupies the Château Grimaldi, Place Mariejol, in Antibes, Alpes-Maritimes. The castle has been classified as a historical monument since April 29, 1928.
In 1946 Pablo Picasso is offered, by Dor de la Souchère, the opportunity to install his workshop at the castle. In 1957, Picasso officially received the title of "Citizen of honor of the city of Antibes". In 1966, Château Grimaldi became the Picasso Museum and Romuald Dor de la Souchère became its first curator. There are about 245 works created by the artist but also paintings by Nicolas de Staël, Fernand Léger or Hans Hartung, engravings by Paul Leuquet and sculptures by Germaine Richier and Joan Miró.This is today the only museum in the world dedicated to the artist.
