Jean Cocteau Museum in Menton

Jean Cocteau Museum, Le Musee Jean-Cocteau - Collection Severin Wunderman
France, Menton
A museum dedicated to the work of Jean Cocteau was opened in 2011 next to the city's waterfront in Menton. Its modern building was built by the architect Rudy Ricciotti, and the basis of the exposition was the personal collection of Cocteau's works, collected and then donated to the museum by the American collector Severin Wunderman. Here are tapestries, drawings, sketches, manuscripts, photographs and books of the outstanding Jean Cocteau. Since the museum is quite new, the latest audio and video devices, monitors and projectors are used here. The museum building houses a cafe, a small gift shop and a library.

Not far from the waterfront and the Old Port is the Jean Cocteau Museum. The museum is private and photography is not allowed. The personality was very difficult - one of the "fathers" of surrealism, with unconventional hobbies, who left a very noticeable mark on culture as a writer and director. His films, the Orpheus trilogy and others, have become classics of cinema. He was especially interested in the theme of the transition to the Other World and the Return. He simulated these movements on a movie screen even before the advent of computer graphics, for example, using a bath filled with mercury.
