Renoir bought the Collettes estate at Cagnes-sur-Mer in 1907 and had the house built in 1908. The museum opened in 1960 and was renovated in the early 2010s; it shows about a dozen original paintings, sculpture, furniture and the studios. From October to March it opens 10am–12pm and 2pm–5pm (musees.cagnes.fr).
