Inaugurated in 1838 in a 17th century building - the Palais de Malte, bought by the city in 1825 - the museum benefits from several major private donations: those of François-Marius Granet, whose name was given to the museum in 1949 during the centenary of his death, but also those of Bourguignon de Fabregoules, Gueidan, Fernand Dol. In the early 1990s, the city of Aix-en-Provence launched a complete renovation of the museum, supported by the State, the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur Region and the Bouches du Rhône department.
In March 2006, after five years of construction, it opened its 4,500 m2 of space to the public.
