Musée Peynet
Musée Peynet stands in Antibes as a museum dedicated to Raymond Peynet and the wider tradition of humorous drawing. Inside, you can trace this art from the nineteenth century to today through illustrations, posters, press drawings, lithographs, dolls, porcelain, and jewellery.
Peynet donated nearly 300 works when the museum opened in 1989, creating the foundation for a collection now exceeding 800 works and documents. Since 1995, exhibitions have also presented artists including Daumier, Plantu, Dubout, Sempé, and Mordillo, exploring justice, peace, propaganda, theatre, politics, and everyday life. Workshops and guided visits welcome children and adults, with adapted tools and activities for visitors with specific needs.
Two bronze statues outside the entrance show Peynet’s famous lovers, the couple that became an emblem of his work. Their image later appeared as a symbol of peace at the Hiroshima Memorial.
