Based within a medieval castle on a hill overlooking the Bay of Cannes, the Musee de la Castre features an impressive collection of artworks and artifacts ranging from 19th-century Provencal landscape paintings and Mediterranean antiquities to pre-Columbian primitive art. Other notable items in the collection include exotic objects from Oceania and an extensive collection of musical instruments from around the globe. Once a monastery for the monks of Lérins, the castle is surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and a 12th-century tower which can be climbed to enjoy breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of Cannes and the Mediterranean Sea.
