The average visit lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. It includes the permanent collections (medieval art, ethnography), temporary exhibitions, and climbing the castle tower to enjoy panoramic views.

Located in a 12th-century medieval castle, it houses collections of primitive art from the Himalayas, Oceania, and pre-Columbian America assembled by Baron Lycklama in the 19th century, as well as artifacts from ancient Mediterranean civilizations.

Avoid July-August and the Cannes Film Festival (May). Ideal: weekday mornings outside peak season (September-October or April). Saturdays are usually busier.

The main access has ramps, but the castle has narrow staircases and the tower is only accessible via a spiral staircase. Contact the museum (+33 4 93 38 55 26) for specific assistance.

Just a few steps away: the picturesque Le Suquet district, Notre-Dame d'Espérance Church, the Old Port, and the famous Croisette (20 min on foot). More info: Tourist Office.
