Jean Cocteau Museum
The Jean Cocteau Museum/Séverin Wunderman Collection is a museum in Menton, on the French Riviera, in the Alpes-Maritimes department. Dedicated to the French artist Jean Cocteau, it incorporates the collection of American businessman and Cocteau enthusiast Séverin Wunderman.
==Design==
The decision to create the museum was made by the Menton city council in December 2003. An international competition was held by the council in 2007, with a winner for the design of the museum announced in June 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://museecocteaumenton.fr/fr/page/le-projet-architectural )〕 The foundation stone was laid in December 2008, with the shell completed in January 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://museecocteaumenton.fr/fr/page/la-donation-wunderman )〕 The competition to design the museum building was won by French architect Rudy Ricciotti, an exponent of 'hedonist architecture' in the 1980s.〔 Ricciotti had previously designed the new Islamic art wing at the Louvre, among other cultural commissions.〔Gareth Harris (13 September 2012), (Islamic art, covered ) ''Financial Times''.〕 Ricciotti's design was directly inspired by Cocteau's life and work, he has said of the museum's design that "Black and white no longer serve as colours here...they create an interplay of structural forces calling to mind both the artist’s works on paper and the poet’s personality, his zones of light and darkness, his enigmatic self-mythology fueled by contrasts."〔 The distinctive facade of the building has been variously described as "...like a fierce set of teeth or a string of alabaster forearms holding up the sky"〔 and "...like a spider, with jagged black pillars sprawling leg-like over the building".〔
Among the financial backers of the museum was Pierre Bergé, partner of the late Yves Saint Laurent.〔 The museum took eight years to create, and is 29,000 sq ft in size.
