Musée des explorations du monde

Charming small museum housed in a small medieval tower with great panoramic views of Cannes. The ethnographic and archaeological collections are interesting but limited in depth. Worth visiting if you are in the area for the view and to explore Le Suquet, but not a destination museum. Best suited for a quick cultural stop.

Best view in Cannes!! Don't stop where the most tourists will!. Enter inside the museum, enjoy exploring and finish with the BEST view in Cannes. 😉

Nestled in the heart of Cannes, the Musée des Explorations du Monde offers breathtaking views that make the journey to the top absolutely worth it. From its vantage point, visitors are rewarded with panoramic scenery stretching across the city and the Mediterranean, creating an unforgettable backdrop. However, reaching those stunning sights comes with a bit of effort—there are quite a few stairs and small spaces to tackle along the way. While the climb adds to the adventure, it’s something to keep in mind for those who prefer an easier stroll. Despite the trek, the rich history and striking views make this museum a must-visit for anyone eager to explore Cannes from a unique perspective.

Tucked into the heart of Cannes, this little gem of a museum only costs 4.5€, and in just 10–15 minutes, it whisks you through four compact rooms full of tribal and pre-Colombian treasures. Not for everyone, but if you’re the kind of traveler who slows down at masks, maps, and ancient myths, it’s absolutely worth the stop. Think of it as a bite-sized adventure before your next gelato. 🎭

Best place to visit for great view of Cannes. I love it

Entrance is €6.50, and the staff are very nice. The museum is small, probably taking 20 minutes. The tower in the middle is a great view of the city, and the main reason to go to the museum. There are English explanations on cards in most of the rooms.

An old tower museum place to visit up the hill. Good to go to the top of the tower to see the whole city of 360 degrees.

We visited last year. Great museum located at a wonderful spot in the city where you could get great views. Wonderful staff, great exhibitions. Highly recommend!
