A good visit, nice to look around. Easy to find and included within the price of the ticket to the Granet xxe. Interesting to see the paintings but disappointed we couldn't see the cezanne

This museum has two locations within walking distance of each other in Aix. The first is the museum with various collections going back to the antiquities up to the Impressionists and Post Impressionists. It’s a lovely museum but it is the Jean Planque collection in a small chapel that is the most captivating. A buyer for a Swiss gallery, Planque developed friendships with numerous artists and began his own art collection. A foundation was formed to keep his artwork together after his death and is on a 15 renewable loan to the Granet. It is staggering to see what a man with limited means could amass through his vision and the force of his personality.

Lovely museum with really interesting exhibits - originals of Cezanne and Picasso as well as other masterpieces. Very interesting archaeological material from pre Christian sites. Nice little courtyard to rest in after the visit

My wife and I were blown away by this museum. Although smaller than some of the massive art museums like the Prado or Louvre, this museum houses an amazing collection of paintings and sculptures. In about two hours, you can tour this whole place learning along the way. From Rembrandt to Cézanne (and copies of his muse) to Granet for whom the museum is named, you will be enthralled. Do not miss this of visiting Aix-en-Provence!

If you have time for a museum when visiting Aix – the Jean Daret exhibition is very interesting. There is an English guided tour on September 7. I’ve joined the English guided tour in August, the guide (Sarah) is exceptional, she has a lot of knowledge to share, and the exhibition is much more interesting with her explanations and highlights. Much recommended.
