History

In 1608 it became a stronghold of the Grimaldi family and has borne their name ever since. In 1702 it became the town hall of Antibes.

The terrace of the museum

From 1925 the chateau was known as the Grimaldi Museum. In 1946 it was the home for six months of the artist Pablo Picasso. Today the museum is known as the Picasso Museum, the first museum in the world to be dedicated to the artist.

Picasso himself donated works to the museum, altogether 23 paintings and 44 drawings [1], most notably his paintings La Chèvre (sculpture) and La Joie de vivre. In 1990 Jacqueline Picasso bequeathed many works by Picasso to the museum. These included four paintings, ten drawings, two ceramics and six etchings. These are displayed at the Château in addition to the three works on paper, sixty etchings and six carpets by Pablo Picasso, which the museum collected between 1952 and 2001. Today the collection totals 245 works by Picasso.

gollark: I mean, if you don't have the opponent's source code/very accurate models, it is in all cases better to defect than cooperate. That is basically what "strictly better" means.
gollark: It... is?
gollark: But it is strictly better for you to defect.
gollark: If you both cooperate it's better.
