Annonciade Museum

The Annonciade museum, modern art by the port of Saint-Tropez

By the port, the Annonciade museum is housed in a former sixteenth-century chapel. From the outside, nothing hints at the treasures of modern art it holds. The Saint-Tropez audio-guided tour stops here to evoke the role of the village in the history of painting, from the late nineteenth to the twentieth century.

A museum in a former chapel

Housed in a former sixteenth-century chapel, by the port, the Annonciade museum presents a little-known aspect of the history of Saint-Tropez, which was a particularly active artistic centre. The route, organised by themes, showcases the Saint-Tropez of the painters, the pointillists and the fauves who came to capture the light of the village. It is one of the finest museums of modern art in the region.

What to see

The museum presents a remarkable collection of modern paintings, around the Saint-Tropez of the painters, pointillism and fauvism. In the intimate setting of a former chapel, the works dialogue with the light that so inspired the artists. It is a must-see stop for art lovers, in the heart of the port of Saint-Tropez.

Practical information

The Annonciade museum lies by the port of Saint-Tropez, reachable on foot. A working museum, it can be visited; its hours and prices vary with the season, and it may be closed on certain days. It is best to check the arrangements before coming.
