Jean Cocteau Museum
Salle des Mariages
Menton features three key sites dedicated to the work of Jean Cocteau:
Jean Cocteau Museum – Bastion: A 17th-century fort that Cocteau transformed into a museum. Opened in 1966, it showcases his mosaics, drawings, and other works, and hosts temporary exhibitions.
Jean Cocteau Museum – Séverin Wunderman Collection: Once housing an extensive collection of Cocteau's art, this venue has been closed since 2018 due to earthquake damage.
Salle des Mariages: A ceremonial room in Menton’s Town Hall, entirely decorated by Cocteau in 1957 with murals and unique designs.
These locations emphasize Menton’s strong connection to Cocteau's legacy. Let me know if you'd like more details about any of these venues.
