The Renoir Museum offers visitors and amateurs to rediscover the atmosphere in which Renoir lived at the end of his life. The house-museum presents in addition to intimate places charged with emotion (workshop, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, garden, etc.)
The Renoir Museum is located in the heart of a magnificent estate planted with olive and citrus trees, from which one discovers a superb panorama that extends to Cap d'Antibes.
With its collections, its 14 original canvases, its 40 sculptures, its furniture and its workshop... it is the moving testimony of the creative and familiar universe of the Impressionist Master who spent the last 12 years of his life in Cagnes-sur-Mer.
After a complete renovation in 2013, the Renoir Museum now offers visitors the opportunity to return to the site as it was known in Renoir. New spaces have opened with a set of seventeen plaster sculptures (deposited by the Renoir and Guino families), two new original canvases as well as intimate archives.
Renoir Garden Workshop
Rebuilt identically on the occasion of "2019, Centennial Renoir", you will discover a space dedicated to children and a permanent educational exhibition on Renoir and its painting.
