Aix-en-Provence - Museum of Fine Arts and Archeology

(Local Name: Musée Granet) The Musée Granet in Aix-en-Provence in the Place St-Jean-de-Malte, east of the Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins, is one of the most comprehensive museums in Provence. It is housed in the former palace of the Commandant of the Order of Malta (Palais de Malte), dating from 1671. Most of the exhibits were formerly the property of the collector and painter François Marius Granet (1775-1849); they include Celto-Ligurian sculptures from the Oppidum d'Entremont, Greek reliefs, Roman fragments, an Early Christian sarcophagus, medieval sculpture and works by European painters (including Jost van Cleve, Hans Holbein the Younger, Rubens, Rembrandt, Cézanne and Pissarro).
