Musée Grobet-Labadié

The Musée Grobet-Labadié is a museum in Marseilles, housed in a 19th-century hôtel particulier owned by the family whose collection it displays.

The museum

In 1919, Marie Grobet, daughter of the Marseilles businessman and politician Alexandre Labadié, gave the family art collection and hôtel particulier to the city.

The museum was inaugurated on November 3, 1925 by Mayor Siméon Flaissières and finally opened its doors to the public in January 1926.[1]

The museum obtained the “Musée de France” label in 2003 and was listed as a historical monument by order of June 15, 2022.[2]
