Musée Cantini, Art museum in Marseille, France
The Musée Cantini occupies a mansion from 1694 in central Marseille, featuring extensive collections of modern art from the early twentieth century.
Jules Cantini, a marble worker and art collector, purchased the building in 1888 and donated it to Marseille in 1916 for establishing a museum.
The museum presents works from various art movements including Fauvism, Cubism, and Surrealism, with pieces by Kandinsky, Miró, and Ernst.
Located near public transportation, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00 and provides free access every first Sunday of the month.
In 2009, a Degas pastel was stolen from the museum but later recovered in 2018 when customs officers found it in a bus luggage compartment.
