The Musee de la Castre

September 29th, 2006

The Musee de la Castre is located in the Old Cannes Castle, which was built during the 11th and 12th centuries by Lerins monks. The museum is home to wonderful collections of archaeology and ethnography from across the world. The Musee de la Castre features the lovely Cistercian Chappelle Ste-Anne, which houses temporary exhibitions. The charming 12th century Tour du Suquet, is home to photographic exhibitions, and it acts as a wonderful viewing tower, with panoramic views across the city. The museum is open everyday except Monday, and it is closed throughout November.
