Musée Peynet, Art museum in Old Town, Antibes, France.
The Musee Peynet displays collections of lithographs, etchings, gouaches, and ink drawings from Raymond Peynet and thirty other French illustrators through multiple exhibition spaces.
The museum opened in 1989 after Pierre Merli, senator-mayor of Antibes, proposed the project to Raymond Peynet, who donated 300 artworks for the permanent collection.
The institution features works from notable cartoonists including Daumier, Plantu, Granville, Caran d'Ache, Sem, and Sempe, representing French illustration from the 19th century onward.
The facility maintains regular hours Tuesday through Sunday, with admission fees of 5 euros for adults and free entry for visitors under 18 years old.
A bronze statue of Peynet's famous romantic couple stands at the museum entrance near the bandstand, reflecting the artist's signature theme throughout his career.
