Musée Peynet, Art museum in Old Town, Antibes, France.
The Musée Peynet houses a collection of lithographs, etchings, gouaches, and ink drawings by French artists spanning different periods. The works spread across multiple exhibition rooms and showcase the technical diversity of these artistic forms.
The museum was established in 1989 when a senator-mayor of Antibes proposed the project and a renowned artist made a major donation. This gift formed the foundation for the museum's permanent collection.
The collection features works by renowned French cartoonists and illustrators whose styles shaped art history. You see here humorous and tender views of everyday life, as artists captured them from the 19th century onward.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday with regular opening hours. Young visitors under 18 have free admission, while adults pay an entrance fee.
A bronze statue of a romantic couple by a renowned artist stands at the museum entrance near a bandstand. This sculpture is a tribute to the signature theme that inspired the artist throughout his career.
