1969, the donation to the State

André Malraux, Minister of State in charge of cultural affairs, receives the donation during an official event which ends with a gala organized at the Palais de Cannes festival. The Léger museum becomes a national museum and according to the clauses of the donation, the founders remain directors for life.

1987-1990, the extension of the building
In 1987, the museum was enlarged and studied and built by the Ministry of Culture by architect Bernard Schoebel. A new building wing doubles the exhibition area. On the east and west facades of the new building, Georges Bauquier commissioned Heidi Melano to make monumental mosaics based on Léger’s plans for La Triennale di Milano (1951) and for the decoration of the University of Caracas (1954).
Georges Bauquier retired as director in 1994.

2004-2008, the modernization of spaces

THE GOLF CLUB

Founded in 1993, the Royal Mougins Golf Club is a course of exceptional quality. Designed by world-famous American architect, the late Robert von Hagge, the par 71, 18-hole course extends for 6,004 m through a lush, wooded vale.

The course is located in the Mougins area, just 10 minutes from Cannes. The majority of the course stretches across the secluded “Vallon de l’Oeuf”, surrounded by peaceful countryside with olive trees and ancient stonewall terracing, preserving the traditional Provençal character of the land.

A game of precision

Good course management and precision play are the two essential elements if you are looking for good results on this rolling course, with its rivers and lakes, and often surrounded by bunkers. Every poor shot is immediately penalised. Choose your club wisely, both in the teeing areas and on the fairways.

A sustainable maintenance programme

The Royal Mougins Golf Club, supported by the GEO (Golf Environment Organization), has developed an environmentally responsible maintenance programme. Of all the sports, Golf has the unique opportunity to make a difference, thanks to its resource management being set in such an ecologically-rich landscape ; likewise, every player becomes part of this programme, and every competition should be a showcase for sustainability. Strengthened phytosanitary conditions, waste recycling, controlled irrigation… Royal Mougins Golf Club is betting on the environment !
