Musée Jean Cocteau

Musée Jean Cocteau in Menton celebrates the life and work of the French artist, writer, and filmmaker Jean Cocteau, who had strong ties to the town. Housed in a striking seafront building, the museum presents drawings, ceramics, photographs, and other works that reveal the range of his creativity. It is a rewarding stop for visitors interested in 20th-century art, literature, or cinema, and for anyone curious about Menton’s cultural identity beyond its beaches and gardens.
