Guided tour “The Sea of Antibes”
A walk through Old Antibes and the port of Vauban, focusing on the maritime heritage of the past and present. Everything in the history and present of Antibes Juan-les-Pins is linked to the sea! The Phocaean trading post of Antipolis, developed and fortified over the centuries, thanks especially to its strategic position, now welcomes boaters, professionals, sea enthusiasts, artisans, and artists who are inspired by the magnificent blue sea.

“CHATTERIES” (Cat Cuddles)
The Postcard Museum presents a temporary exhibition of antique postcards depicting cats. Domestic animals have often been used to illustrate postcards. Among the most frequent are cats. Photographers and illustrators have provided numerous images, from large cats sleeping on a comfortable cushion to kittens. These illustrations are found on postcards and wall calendars distributed by mail carriers. In both cases, these images remain on display for several months (especially for calendars). We must admit that these naturalistic scenes have a calming, even beneficial effect on the viewer. Outside of any religious or political ulterior motives, the presence of animals accompanying our daily lives is reassuring.

Sportivi!! Claude Serre
In 2018, the museum presented a comprehensive thematic retrospective that surprisingly excluded sports. It would be a shame to continue this omission. The Olympic year, 2024, corrects this injustice. Here is again this sarcastic, subversive genius, amusing, brilliant. Remaining, as sports love to cite records, the humorous cartoonist who has sold the most albums worldwide with his title “Black Humor and Men in White.” A gold medal, then. Coluche would have enjoyed it, undoubtedly throwing him a sharp and invigorating “Sportivi!!”

Cross-eyed views on the Cap d’Antibes
The Antibes Tourist Office is hosting an exhibition of photographic works from September 2nd to 27th, highlighting the works of two photographers: Véronique and Frédéric Laurès.
Véronique’s photographic approach invites us to discover the waves of Cap d’Antibes, true jewels and heritage. Her unique sensitivity permeates each of her works, making the invisible visible. Her gaze is a vibrant testimony to her communion with the element and an invitation to travel for the viewer.

Joan Miró. Masterpieces from the Nahmad Collection
From June 30 to September 27
The Picasso Museum offers a unique experience: presenting twelve masterful works by Joan Miró, from one of the world’s most important private collections, the Nahmad Collection. Miró feels at home here, as a guest in his friend’s house. The friendship that, since their first meeting in Paris in 1920, linked the two artists for life was also a ferment of their creative passion. The rooms host a single work, sometimes two. Contrary to traditional exhibitions that gather and associate, this is no longer about accumulation but about concentration and reception of the object in its singularity for contemplation and interpretation.
Note: From June 4 to 29, 2024 Installation of the summer exhibition and closure of the first floor. Discounted entrance with access to the second floor, ground floor, and terrace.

Without all the Ceremony
As a maritime and frontier city, Antibes has long had to defend itself, and much of its heritage is directly inherited from this context. The Saracen towers, the old Grimaldi castle, Fort Carré, the walls from Saint-Jaume bastion to Saint-André bastion, are markers in our urban planning of a violent reality, fear of assaults, looting, bombings, in a word, war. But what is war? Fort Carré’s programming this year offers perspectives, reflections on commitment, the duty of memory, and the traumas it generates: thematic visits, workshops, museum cafés for discussions, a cinema visit around Roberto Rossellini’s “Paisà,” and a theatrical walk in collaboration with the Antibes Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art.
