Opened twenty-eight years ago, the museum is home to Hélène Costa's much-loved collections. It is the fruit of a lifetime of passion, now carried on by her three daughters. These treasures include a large number of floral representations dating back to the 18th century. Located in the heart of the Grasse region, where flowers and scents reign supreme, the catalogue pays tribute to Hélène Costa, the museum's founder and a passionate botanist, who loved to compose elegant bouquets from the flowers in her garden in addition to her fashion creations.
