The Musée Bonnard, opened on 25 June 2011, is the only museum in the world devoted to Pierre Bonnard. The painter bought the villa Le Bosquet in Le Cannet in 1926 and spent more than twenty years here, the period of his most inspired pictures; the collection centres on these years, 1922 to 1947, mostly landscapes, with the Nu de profil and, deposited by the State, La Salle à manger au Cannet of 1932.

One or two temporary exhibitions are shown each year, in partnership with the Musées d'Orsay and de l'Orangerie.

Musée Bonnard is a museum on Rue des Pres in Le Cannet. The bus stop Mairie du Cannet - Musée Bonnard is 50 m away (about 1 min on foot).
