Olympic and Paralympic torches from 1936 to 2022
From June 18, the Arcades Cultural Space will host the exhibition “Olympic and Paralympic Torches from 1936 to today”. A collection of more than 130 objects linked to the history of the Olympic Games, thanks to the Greek private collector Stratos Klimou. The links between Antibes and its twin city, Olympia, made it possible to hold this exceptional exhibition during the flagship period of the Olympic Games in Paris. You will be able to admire 41 Olympic and Paralympic torches, including those from the 1936 Berlin Games, an Olympic altar from the ship used to carry the flame, a priestess robe from the flame lighting ceremony in Olympia, champions’ medals and many other souvenirs, symbols of the history of the Games.
From June 18 to July 28, Free Entry.

Sportsmen!! Claude Serre
In 2018, the museum offered a vast thematic retrospective from which sport was strangely excluded. It would be a shame to deprive yourself of it any further. Olympic year, 2024 repairs this injustice. Here again is this sarcastic, subversive, amusing, brilliant genius. He remains, because sport likes to cite records, the humorist cartoonist who sold the greatest number of albums in the world with his title Black Humor and Men in White. A gold medal, then. Coluche would surely have found it amusing to give him a thunderous “Sportsman!! “.

Joan Miró. Masterpieces from the Nahmad collection
The Picasso Museum offers a unique experience: presenting twelve masterful works by Joan Miró, from one of the most important private collections in the world, the Nahmad collection. Miró is at home here, like a guest in his friend’s house. Because the friendship which, since their first meeting in Paris in 1920, has linked the two artists throughout their lives, has also been a ferment of their creative passion. The rooms host a single work, sometimes two. Unlike the traditional exhibition which brings together and associates, it is no longer a question of accumulation, but of concentration and reception of the object in its singularity for contemplation and interpretation.
From June 4 to 29, 2024 Installation of the summer exhibition and closure of the first floor. Discounted entry with access to the second floor, ground floor and terrace.

Without all the ceremony
As a maritime and border town, Antibes has long had to defend itself, and a large part of its heritage is directly inherited from this context. The Saracen towers, the old Grimaldi castle, the Fort Carré, the ramparts of the Saint-Jaume bastion at the Saint-André bastion, are all landmarks in our urban planning of a violent reality, of the fear of assaults, of pillaging, of bombing, in a word, of war. But what is war? This year, the Fort Carré program offers points of view, reflections on commitment, the duty to remember, the traumas it generates: thematic visits, workshops, café-museums to discuss, a cinema visit around Paisà by Roberto Rossellini, and a theatrical walk in collaboration with the Antibes Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art.
