Picasso’s former studio - built on the foundations of an Ancient Greek Acropolis - is now a museum, with a collection of his works alongside various other pieces.
Until 1966, the museum’s site was known as Grimaldi Castle. Built on what had been the ancient Greek Acropolis of Antipolis, and then a Roman castrum and a Medieval bishops’ residence, it was owned by the Grimaldi family until 1608. In 1925, the castle was bought by the city of Antibes and became the Grimaldi Museum.
In the summer of 1946, Pablo Picasso, who was living nearby in Golfe-Juan, was invited to use part of the castle as a studio. Picasso worked from September to November of 1946 and produced numerous works, including Les Clés d'Antibes. When the artist decided to return to Paris, he left 23 paintings and 44 drawings in the castle.
