La Malmaison Museum occupies the game room and tea room of the Grand Hôtel, built in 1863. These rooms were used for art exhibitions organized by Aimé Maeght in 1945 and were converted by the city of Cannes to a museum in 1983. 

This small museum invites visitors on a delightful discovery of contemporary art. The museum hosts two major expositions annually dedicated to famous artists who found inspiration from the Cote d'Azur, including Picasso, Matisse, and Ozenfant.

 Other internationally renowned artists featured in the museum's collections are César, Miró, and Masson.
