About this audio guide
This guide to the Musée Chapelle Bellini in Cannes follows Emmanuel Bellini, a Monaco-born architect who spent decades designing buildings and drawing on the side, and the day in nineteen fifty-three he bought a count's private chapel. It touches on his apprenticeship, his posters and colour-loud canvases, and the choices he made about the building itself. Listen standing among the easels, where the paintings hang just as he left them.
