The Musée Jean Cocteau in Menton has been celebrating the Prince of poets, since 1966.

Musée Jean Cocteau in Menton

The term museum displeased Jean Cocteau, who feared that his exhibited works would take on "an air of habit". For this reason, he himself oversaw the choice of works to be included in the museum's collections, and proposed a rotation of works on display.

The Musée Jean Cocteau collections

It's difficult to describe the collections of the Musée Jean Cocteau in Menton, as the works on display are regularly changed.
Note that in addition to the museum's rotating collection, there are the lesser-known works of the Séverin Wunderman donation.
Paintings, drawings, ceramics add up to an ensemble of over 2000 pieces, including famous major works alongside lesser-known ones. It's one of the great attractions of this museum that it keeps us discovering Jean Cocteau, the man who dabbled in everything
