Musée Peynet, Art museum in Old Town, Antibes, France.

The Musée Peynet occupies the ground floor of a building on Place Nationale, entered through arched glass doors beneath a yellow panel reading "Peynet". A frieze above the entrance carries the inscriptions "Musée Peynet" and "et du dessin humoristique" around a carved stone cartouche with a crest and an anchor. Inside, the collection holds around 600 drawings by cartoonists and press illustrators, alongside the nearly 300 works Raymond Peynet donated at the museum's 1989 opening: illustrations, posters, lithographs, dolls, porcelains and jewellery.

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 from 10:00 to 17:00 from November to March, and from 10:00 to 12:50 and 14:00 to 18:00 from April to October. It is closed on 1 January, 1 May, 1 November and 25 November. The building is accessible to people with reduced mobility and offers adapted tools for visually impaired visitors.

The museum opened in 1989 with nearly 300 works given by Raymond Peynet, including illustrations, posters, press drawings, lithographs, dolls, porcelains and jewellery. Its collection has since grown to about 600 drawings by caricaturists and press illustrators. In 1995 Plantu inaugurated the museum's new direction with an exhibition, followed by Dubout, Chenez, Blachon and Moisan.
