Picasso’s Antibes

In the autumn of 1946 Picasso painted in the Château Grimaldi, and left the town the works that made it the Musée Picasso in 1966. The trail runs from the museum to Jaume Plensa’s Nomade, shown first by the museum, and to the house and studios where Hans Hartung and Anna-Eva Bergman, whose rooms are in the museum, lived and worked.
