Musée des Explorations du Monde, World exploration museum in Le Suquet, Cannes, France.
The museum presents Mediterranean archeology collections, ethnology exhibits, and primitive arts across multiple exhibition spaces within a medieval fortress complex.
The museum traces its origins to 1877 when Baron Tinco Martinus Lycklama donated Mediterranean antiquities and ethnographic objects from his Oriental travels.
The collections include musical instruments in Saint Anne Chapel, Iranian art sections, and artifacts from civilizations spanning the Himalayas to Oceania.
The museum operates from Tuesday to Sunday with seasonal hours, offering reduced rates for students and free entry on first Sundays from November to March.
Visitors can climb 109 steps to reach the medieval tower, which provides views of Cannes and houses sections dedicated to Oriental art collections.
