Annonciade Museum, Art museum in Saint-Tropez, France
Description
The Annonciade Museum houses an art collection inside a 16th-century chapel that was repurposed for this use, located in the heart of town. The displays span paintings from 1890 to 1950 arranged across exhibition rooms, covering Post-Impressionism, Nabis, and Fauvism styles developed during this period.
History
A prominent painter discovered this place in 1892 and founded an artist workshop that quickly attracted many others to the area. This moment marked the shift from a quiet fishing settlement to a destination where innovative artists gathered and created.
Culture
The collection reflects how artists chose to live and work together in this seaside village, developing new painting styles inspired by local light and landscapes. Works on display show the close relationships between painters who settled here and influenced each other's approach to color and form.
Practical
The museum sits on the main town square and is easy to reach on foot from most areas. Exhibition content changes regularly, so checking what is currently on display before visiting helps you plan what to see.
Did you know?
The building itself was originally a place of worship before being converted into an exhibition space, which shapes the visitor experience in subtle ways. This transformation from sacred to artistic use gives the galleries a distinctive character that surprises many who enter.
