Visit Glasgow’s Burrell Collection on Display the Musée Cantini, Marseille

Artists Inspired by Provence · Guest Post · Inspire

The Musée Cantini has recently re-opened and is hosting an exhibition of paintings from Glasgow’s Burrell Collection, itself now closed for renovation.

Sir William Burrell, a member of a wealthy Scottish ship-building family, was an avid collector of art and amassed 9000 items he donated to Glasgow in 1944.  He was drawn to French realism and impressionism, and 50 paintings and drawings are being shown in Marseille.

Visit Musée Cantini for Burrell’s collection includes works by Courbet, Degas, and Cézanne. The show runs until September 24, 2018.

Originally constructed in 1694 as a private mansion (hôtel particulier) for la Compagnie du Cap Nègre, the building passed through several owners before Jules Cantini purchased the building in the mid-19th century. Cantini was a marble importer and thus involved in constructing many religious and other sites in Marseille. He was also a lover of the arts. He donated the house to the city in 1916. The Musée Cantini has a permanent collection of “modern” artworks from the 20th century  (1900 to 1960).
