Very impressed with the quality of art on all 3 floors of this museum. Nice variety of artifacts, sculpture and paintings. I wish there were more Cezanne pieces but what they had was excellent. If you enjoy art, don't miss this museum!

We visited on May 15 when there were no special exhibitions underway. admission and audio guide were free - even though the signage listed admission fees. Perhaps they know people would object if they charged for their permanent collection. What we saw were about a dozen minor Cezanne paintings, one Rembrandt, two Ingres paintings, and a lot of paintings by...

This is a great museum and the new exhibition will be very popular (Cezanne to modern). Cezanne's paintings were rejected by Aix and mustn't they regret it, but this gallery has lots of other works to recommend it particularly those of Granet himself.
Entry is "free today", as is the audio guide. What they don't mention is that half the museum is currently not open, and there is little of Cezanne to see.

the Museum Grenet has a very interesting collection but it is in heavy refurbishment and half of the space is currently not available.Anyway it worth the pain of visit for the marvellous paintings.By the way on weekend is for free
Not sure why there were no Cezanne paintings on display. Was disappointed in this museum. There was one Monet and one Van Gogh. They were having a special exhibit but I wasn't really interested in it. The gift shop was nice.
We went on the first Sunday of the month for free, it was ok, but nothing fantastic. The opening hours aren't the same as advertised so be careful, don't go before midday. Lovely old home, worth going when it's free.
The museum is situated in a light and spacious new building next to an old church. It is a pity that this enormous buiding is used so inefficient. A new exebitions has to be made, but in Aix en Provence you expect at least some paintings of Cezanne in the town museum.
50% of the space was used to show...

Not exactly worth a visit, but if you need to kill an hour or so and feel like looking at the ruins of Entremont, a few paintings, or some sculptures, hop on over to the Musée Granet.
We went back several times to finally find it open on Sunday afternoon. Diverse collection, at least it's not all religious art. Sculptures in the basement are definately worth a look.
