Classified as a historic monument, the museum site is a treasure trove in itself: medieval tower, Romanesque cloister, 12th-century chapel... all witnesses to Cannes' past, rehabilitated to house collections from every continent.

The museum presents a rich and eclectic collection Mediterranean antiques, traditional musical instruments from all over the world, primitive arts, Himalayan sculptures, oriental ceramics... all rare pieces gathered by passionate explorers, collectors and scholars.

Among the treasures to be discovered, visitors can admire :
- Egyptian, Greek and Roman artefacts from local excavations
- Ritual masks from Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Americas
- A unique collection of world musical instruments
- Orientalist paintings and 19th-century landscapes of Cannes
- Temporary exhibitions dedicated to distant arts or contemporary issues
- A exceptional panoramic view from the museum tower, embracing the entire bay of Cannes to the Lérins islands

More than a museum, it's a place for awakening, dialogue and curiosity, at the crossroads between arts, civilizations and perspectives.
