The collection includes some of his most famous works, such as "La Joie de Vivre" and "La Guerre et La Paix" which were created during the artist's residence in Antibes.

The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions that focus on different aspects of Picasso's work and the context in which it was created. The museum provides a wealth of information about the artist and his work, making it an ideal destination for art lovers, historians and visitors to Antibes.

The Musée Picasso in Antibes is considered one of the most important museums dedicated to the artist's work and is a must-see destination for anyone interested in Picasso's art and life.
