Review:

Since first opening its doors in 1838 adjacent to the Church of Saint-Jean-de-Malte in the Mazarin quarter, the Musee Granet has become a popular destination for art lovers with its 12,000 works and masterpieces. Named after one of its most important benefactors, the painter François-Marius Granet, the cultural organization features a breathtaking collection of archaeology, sculpture, and French, Italian and Northern European paintings from the 14th century to the 20th century. Among the highlights are Portrait of a Young Boy by Jacques-Louis David and 10 paintings by Paul Cézanne, the father of modern art and a native of Provence. Guided tours such as the Middle Ages to the 18th Century and From Picasso to Dubuffet are available in French and English on select days of the week.
