Good to know

  • Allow two hours; the rooftop terrace has a restaurant and wide sea views.
  • Combined tickets with the Prince's Palace or the Car Collection exist; buy them on the museum's official ticketing site rather than from resellers.
  • Buses 1 and 2 from the station area stop close by; the Chemin des Pecheurs car park is directly beneath the museum.
