Musee de la Photographie (Photography Museum)
Free museum showing the history of photography in the area
Right in the centre of the old town of Mougins is an interesting photography museum. On display are various antique cameras plus old photography equipment, and a large collection of portraits of Pablo Picasso.
Created in 1986 thanks to the donation of the famous photographer André Villers, this museum shows photographs as well as old cameras and photography material. Especially interesting are the portraits of Picasso made by some of the best photographers of the time, including Robert Doisneau, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, David Douglas Duncan or the same André Villers who met the Spanish painter in 1953.
There are also temporary exhibitions throughout the year.
Open from February to December, Tuesday to Sunday 10:00-12:30 and 14:00-18:00 (closes at 19:00 from June 15th to September 15th).
How to get passes
Entry to the museum is free, but be aware that it does shut at lunch times so consider what time of day you will visit or you may be disappointed!
