In Marseille stands the Musée Grobet-Labadié, a 19th-century hôtel particulier. The building was originally the home of the family of Alexandre Labadié, a Marseille businessman and politician.
In 1919, Marie Grobet, the daughter of Labadié, gave the family art collection and the hôtel particulier to the city. The museum was inaugurated on November 3, 1925, by Mayor Siméon Flaissières and opened to the public in January 1926.
The museum obtained the "Musée de France" label in 2003. It was officially listed as a historical monument by order of June 15, 2022.
