Annonciade Museum

Not extravagant experience but real educational and informative. If you love history, paintings and culture, visiting this place will add more knowledge to your brain. Indulge with culture and history of St.Tropez visiting this Museum for 1 hour is a must! It will highlight your tour in French Riviera!

Housed in a former 16th-century chapel just steps from the port, the museum feels intimate yet filled with artistic treasures that capture the spirit of the Riviera. A small but incredible collection from the late 19th to mid-20th century and brings together works by painters who were drawn to Saint Tropez for its Mediterranean light. It includes vibrant examples of Pointillism, Fauvism, and the Nabis movement. Seeing paintings by Paul Signac, Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, and Raoul Dufy in one place is already remarkable, but what impressed me most was discovering the early work of Francis Picabia. His luminous Vue de la Citadelle de Saint Tropez offers a softer, almost nostalgic vision of the town, very different from the avant-garde style he later became known for. Must see and is right at the Harbour in Saint Tropez

Unfortunately while I was visiting the ground floor was closed due to the preparation for the temporary exhibition. But a charming little collection of impressionist paintings on the second floor is very corresponding to the spirit of Saint Tropez city

Chapel-turned-museum, Musee de l’Annonciade displayed amazing artwork by French artists like Signac, Marquet, Matisse and Rouault. Not the biggest museum and it felt more like an art gallery, but it remained a must visit while in Saint-Tropez.

This little gem of a museum is right on the sea-front. It looks over the port of St Tropez. Paintings by famous impressionists depict that same port. The scenery in the paintings contrasts massively with the port today. Brigitte Bardot made the town famous, but for sure she could not have expected that her beauty would attract such huge oversized yachts registered in tax free havens to come and squeeze into that little fishing port.

This was my favourite part of my visit to Saint Tropez!! Sweet little Museum, their current exhibition was very fascinating and included lots of works by women :) The Museum shop also has pretty Postcards you can get as a souvenir

A surprisingly voluminous exhibition with some exciting paintings. Definitely worth the price of 4 euros. A nice surprise!

Very manageable collection with families. Be aware that strollers are not allowed inside and you cannot take pictures of all the paintings.
