Opened in 1952, Musée de la Castre truly strives to promote art. Its collections reflect the interests of 19th-century archaeologists, ethnographers, antiques enthusiasts and art lovers. You'll find an impressive collection of Mediterranean artifacts from Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, Iran, Syria as well as Cyprus. Primitive art from Oceania, Africa, Asia and the Americas is another area of focus. The collection of 19th-century Cannes landscapes is also worth a look. The 12th-century Sainte-Anne chapel houses a superb collection of musical instruments from all over the world. Climb the medieval tower for a panoramic view of Cannes and its bay. Tickets for adults cost EUR3. Admission is free on the first sunday of each month.
