Bastion Museum

The Bastion Museum is an exhibition hall of works by Jean Cocteau, on the harbor mass of Menton, on the French Riviera, in the Alpes-Maritimes bureau of France. The Bastion was worked in the 17th century by Honore II, Prince of Monaco. Cocteau reestablished the Bastion himself, finishing the nooks, banquet room and external dividers with mosaics produced using pebbles. The Bastion Museum opened in 1966, three years after Cocteau's death.

Another display of Cocteau's work is introduced in the Bastion consistently. Despite the fact that not actually a bastion yet rather a strong house, the structure was referred to local people as u Bastian in the Mentonasc dialect. Jean Cocteau nicknamed it "the Citadel". The first gathering was comprised of 102 pieces chosen by Jean Cocteau explicitly for this exhibition hall, including 70 illustrations, 2 artistic creations, 3 lithographs, 2 woven artworks and 11 clay pieces, every bright work from Cocteau's Mediterranean period 1950– 1963.

It was later extended through buys and gifts by Cocteau's legatee Edouard Dermit and craftsman Irene Lagut. Notable works incorporate the Innamorati and Sphinxes arrangement of wax pastel illustrations, the Judith and Holofernes woven artwork and representations for the stylistic theme of the Menton wedding lobby. Since the opening of musee Jean Cocteau gathering Severin Wunderman in 2011, the two galleries' accumulations have been consolidated. The Bastion historical center hosts areas of musee Jean Cocteau gathering Severin Wunderman's presentations or its own.
