La Malmaison in Cannes: An Artistic Journey in the Heart of the Croisette

Among Cannes’ most iconic landmarks, La Malmaison is a must-visit for art and culture lovers. Located on the famous Croisette, this elegant 19th-century villa, formerly a pavilion of the prestigious Villa Croisette, now houses an exhibition space dedicated to modern and contemporary art.

A Place Rich in History

Built in 1863, La Malmaison was originally a popular holiday retreat for the Belle Époque aristocracy. Over the decades, it has been transformed into an exhibition space, now hosting retrospectives of renowned artists such as Picasso, Matisse, and Miró. Its intimate setting and elegant architecture make it an exceptional place to discover outstanding works of art while soaking in the unique atmosphere of the Croisette.

A Key Venue for Contemporary Art

La Malmaison is a major destination for contemporary art in France and internationally. Thanks to its renovation, the art center now offers 600 m² of exhibition space, allowing it to host prestigious collections and exceptional loans.

A High-Quality Artistic Program

Throughout the year, La Malmaison presents temporary exhibitions showcasing major artists from the 20th and 21st centuries. The themes range from painting and sculpture to photography and contemporary installations, offering visitors a diverse artistic experience. Each exhibition is carefully curated to create an immersive journey into the artist’s universe.

For its inauguration, the exhibition "Luxe, calme et volupté" (running until April 20, 2025) highlights 56 artists inspired by the Mediterranean, including Cézanne, Monet, Renoir, Picasso, and Combas.
