This private mansion built in 1694 by the 'compagnie du Cap Nègre' had been bought in 1709 by the family de Montgrand. They own it until 1801.
A stone's throw from the Old Port of Marseille, the Cantini Museum explores the modern period (1900-1960). A journey into the whimsical world of the surrealists (André Breton and Jacqueline Lamba, Jacques Hérold, André Masson, Max Ernst, Oscar Dominguez...) in exile in Marseille, at the Villa Air-Bel, between 1940 and 1941. In parallel, we discover luminous paintings of great names of Fauvism and Cubism (André Derain, Charles Camoin, Raoul Dufy) fascinated by the landscapes of the South, or works of key artists of the twentieth century, including Giacometti, Bacon and Picasso.
