Granet XXth, Jean Planque collection
In 2011, the Jean and Suzanne Planque Foundation deposited at the Musée Granet the collection of Jean Planque (1910-1998), a major Swiss collector, consisting of some 300 paintings, drawings and sculptures from the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists (Cézanne, Monet, Van Gogh, Degas) to the major artists of the 20th century such as Bonnard, Picasso, Braque, Léger, de Staël and Dubuffet.
In order to present the essence of this magnificent collection, the museum has been enlarged in the chapel of the Pénitents blancs, a jewel of Aix-en-Provence's 17th century architecture. More than 700 m2 of additional exhibition space is now available to the public.
