Musée-Château d'Annecy

such a nice museum! a lot of stairs so be warned, but really interesting exhibits, art and lake wildlife! some labels were hard to grasp because me and my partner don’t know french but we still had a good time and some english translations are provided!

They have a building that can demonstrate the life of the French aristocracy, to show how people lived. Instead most of the rooms are empty, paintings with very little or no relevance, windows blocked off and art displays that my 10 year old son could create. There was a room of old furniture but nothing displaying how they were used, mannequins could be used to show their usage. If you compare to Warwick Castle in England, the difference is like night and day. I am exceptionally disappointed and feel my money was wasted.

Nice castle with a range of old (1400s) through to modern art works. Also an interesting display about the topography and fauna of the lake and its history. Well worth a visit. A small entry fee applies. It’s a steep climb from the old town.

The Castle of Annecy is a must-see for anyone visiting the area! The experience was absolutely beautiful, starting with the breathtaking views of the city and lake from the castle itself. The architecture of the castle is stunning, and walking through its historic halls truly feels like stepping back in time. One of the highlights is the affordable ticket price for students—just 5€, which gives you access to both the castle and the museum inside. The museum is filled with interesting exhibits, including some remarkable paintings that capture the beauty and history of the region. I was particularly impressed by the collection of landscape paintings that showcased the local scenery. In addition to the historical art, there was a modern art showcase, which added a unique and contemporary twist to the visit. It was fascinating to see the blend of old and new art in such a historic setting. The combination of history, culture, and modern creativity made the experience truly memorable. The Castle of Annecy is an excellent destination for history buffs, art lovers, or anyone looking to enjoy a rich cultural experience. Highly recommended for students and travelers alike!

For €6 per person you get to wonder around a beautiful old building admiring the stonework while looking at a range of amazing art and artifacts, a small aquarium area and beautiful views across Annecy and the lake. An hour + of fun at amazing value. We all loved it, thank you.

I loved the paintings, and the display of timber household items. The castle is huge and well preserved. There are lots of rooms to explore. There is also a natural history section which was interesting.

Very interesting to see. Also wonderful views of Annecy. It's a very steep walk up to get here so not suitable for people with limited mobility. Also inside the museum there are many levels with many stairs, so not suitable for everyone. Very friendly and helpful staff that speak many languages.

An interesting experience, the castle benefits from many rooms that can be seen but also views that take your breath away. It is an interesting place for both children and adults to visit

Museum in a castle. Now who would've thunk it? The cost per person to romp the grounds was 5 Euros, so not too bad. You can't get really lost in here as there's only 1 way in and out. You get to climb a lot of stairs (they're kind of narrow and spiral) and walk around a whole castle, so make sure you have good walking shoes. The special exhibit was African art, which is kind of weird to have in this museum, but why not? There was also a set of contemporary art installations in the other towers which was nice. Make sure you go into all the holes in the walls as you'll find the toilets. They were smart back then. Holes in the castle so that it just goes down somewhere, don't know where, but somewhere. Only thing is you can't take photos in most of the castle. I did sneak a few here and there and also around the castle. Great view of Annecy from here.

The museum is worth the fee for the view alone-a spectacular Panoramic of Annecy from the walls of the castle. Each building houses art and archaeology as well as natural history for a mere 10 euros.
