The former Romanesque chapel of Vallauris Castle houses the National Picasso Museum « War and Peace », a monumental composition painted on isorel panels.
Three museums in one!
The château de Vallauris, formerly the Abbaye de Lérins priory, was rebuilt in the 16th century and is one of the region’s very few Renaissance-era buildings. It is home to the “War and Peace” National Picasso Museum in the Romanesque chapel, the Magnelli Museum and the Ceramics Museum.
This private museum was founded by a ceramics enthusiast and is a chance to get to grips with all the different stages that go into producing ceramics thanks to the tools and machines on display.
