Fine art museums Côte d'Azur

The naive art museum settled in the Château Sainte-Hélène de Fabron in 1982, ancient house of the perfumer François Coty. This site owes its existence to the donation of arts critics Anatole and Renée Jakovsky who gave him their name. It shows works unique in the world tracing the history of from the 17th century to nowadays: South America, Haiti, Croatia, Central Europe, Europe… Three themes feature the permanent collections: the city in the countryside; fables and popular tales and the history of naive art. You will find the works, sculptures, posters and drawings of more or less famous artists such as Rabuzin, Bauchant, Party, Ivan and Josip Généralic, Grandma Moses, O'Brady, Haddelsey, Rimbert, Vivin, Séraphine, Lefranc, Vivancos….

Built between 1880 and 1887, this museum offers ancient and modern art collections on the theme of Provence from the 17th to the 20th century, contemporary and photographic. The temporary exhibitions are taking turns and they differ from one another, the museum gathers some parts of the 17th-century Italian School, the series of portraits of the 18th and 19th centuries French School, as well as the 19th-century French Landscape School, which is one of the major themes of the collection.
