Musée International d'Art Naïf Anatoly Jakovsky
( Worth Seeing ) The International Museum of Naïve Art is housed in an elegant, turn-of-the-century pink villa, the Château de Ste-Hélène, built by the perfume magnate, Coty. It contains a remarkable 600 canvases, drawings, engravings and sculptures, donated by Anatoly Jakovsky, illustrating the history of naïve art throughout the world from the 17th century to the present day. Croatian artists are especially well represented, including Generalićc, Kovaćcićc and Petrovićc. Look out also for French masters of the genre, including Vivin, Rimbert and Bauchant.
