About Cantini Museum
In an elegant 17th-century mansion in the heart of Marseille, the Musée Cantini is one of the city's finest art museums, devoted to modern and contemporary art. Given to the city by the sculptor and patron Jules Cantini, it holds an outstanding collection focused on the first half of the 20th century, with important works of Fauvism, Cubism and above all Surrealism — pieces by artists such as Picasso, Léger, Ernst, Miró and Giacometti, and a rich holding linked to the movement's Marseille connections during the Second World War. The beautiful Baroque townhouse provides a refined setting for these bold modern works. Compact but of high quality, the Musée Cantini is a jewel of Marseille's cultural life and an essential stop for lovers of 20th-century art in the heart of the old city.
