Olympic and Paralympic Torches from 1936 to 2022

A collection of over 130 items related to the history of the Olympics, thanks to the Greek private collector, Stratos Klimou. The ties between Antibes and its twin city Olympia have made it possible to hold this exceptional exhibition during the peak of the Olympic Games in Paris. You can admire 41 Olympic and Paralympic torches, including the one from the 1936 Berlin Games, an Olympic altar from the ship used to transport the flame, a priestess dress from the flame lighting ceremony in Olympia, champion medals, and many other memories, symbols of the Games’ history.

Sports!! Claude Serre
In 2018, the museum proposed a wide thematic retrospective from which sports were strangely excluded. It would have been a shame to continue to deprive ourselves of it. Olympic year, 2024 corrects this injustice. Here again is this sarcastic, subversive, whimsical, brilliant genius. He remains, as sports like to quote records, the cartoonist who has sold the most albums worldwide with his title Humour noir et hommes en blanc. A gold medal, then. Coluche would have had fun throwing him without a doubt a crunchy and invigorating “Sports!!”.

Joan Miró. Masterpieces from the Nahmad Collection
The Picasso Museum offers a unique experience: presenting twelve masterpieces by Joan Miró, from one of the world’s most important private collections, the Nahmad collection. Miró is here at home, like a guest in his friend’s house. Because the friendship that, from their first meeting in Paris in 1920, bound the two artists for life, was also a ferment of their creative passion. The rooms host only one work, sometimes two. Unlike the traditional exhibition that gathers and associates, it is no longer about accumulation, but about concentration and reception of the object in its singularity for contemplation and interpretation.
From June 4th to June 29th, 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 ceremonial
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 ancient Grimaldi castle, the Fort Carré, the walls of the bastion Saint-Jaume at the bastion Saint-André, are all markers in our urban planning of a violent reality, of fear of assaults, looting, bombings, in a word, war. But what is war? The Fort Carré programming proposes this year points of view, reflections on commitment, on the duty of memory, on the traumas it generates: thematic visits, workshops, museum cafes to discuss, a cinema visit around Paisà by Roberto Rossellini, and a theatricalized walk in collaboration with the Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art of Antibes.
