This is a pretty cool site. The main attraction is the "backyard" area where you can see the ruins of an ancient Roman bath under excavation. Inside, they have a pretty good collection of Roman antiquities, and then there's a rotating special exhibit downstairs. The only reason I'm not giving this site five stars is that the service, while adequate, could have been better. We didn't get much of a greeting when we arrived, but that was fine. The bigger issue was that they had an employee who was very upset about the totally normal way my wife was carrying her water bottle in the gift shop area who decided to address that by barking at her more than talking. It was a fully sealed water bottle. There was no risk to their merchandise. We weren't near anything of great value. My wife doesn't speak French, but I was right there and I do, while not fluently, more than well enough to translate his concerns if he spoke in words rather than guttural noises. I'm not sure that I've ever, in any culture or language, seen someone jump right to such hostile noise masking and body language over anything, much less something so trivial as a sealed bottle of water. We still had a good time at the museum, saw some great artifacts, and learned a lot.

Lovely to explore on a sunny day! For fans of unique architecture, furniture and decor this place…read moreis a treat. Walking into the entryway I immediately felt like I'd stepped into an issue of Architectural Digest. All the rooms in the villa were gorgeous! From the Roman bath right at the entrance to the open courtyard, library, dining room and main reception room, the Greek Revival style which reminded me of a mix between Art Deco and Art Nouveau in terms of style lines, but with strong Greek elements. The first and second floors are open to the public, and a free audio guide in language of choice comes included in the ticket price. If you listen to all the details in the guide it takes about 45 minutes to walk thru the house. Add on 15-20 minutes enjoying the view and about 15 minutes in the ground floor exhibit and you can easily spend 1.5 hours here. There is an exhibition in the basement/ground level of the Roman ruins in the area, with placards showing their chronological history and diagrams and sketched recreations. They went into a lot of detail though unfortunately for non-French readers these were only in French. Helpful to have a live photo translation app though my cell service underneath stone walls and right beside the sea edge was quite spotty. At €13 a ticket which is prob a bit steep for local activities tho there is a combination ticket for Villa Kerylos and Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild over a few days that's €22. A decent deal considering separate tickets are €30 total. The ticket office associate was friendly and helpful. Take the train from towns along the coast to Beaulieu-sur-Mer then walk 10 minutes, or local buses 607 or 15 which also stop close by to the villa entrance. The town itself is nice to walk around a bit and enjoy the harbor area.

Best room is with the artist who's fascinated with the vibrant blue and women using their bodies to paint on canvases. Everything is translated into multiple languages. Overall it deals with modern Italian art from the 1960-70s. Lots of films in Italian.

I've been to the Tate Modern, San Francisco MoMa, and Bilbao Guggenheim, and I found the art in this place just too bizarre for my taste. There were 3 floors of exhibits and it was enough for me - the first floor was a temporary exhibit and was so strange. There was a giant " 1-bedroom " apartment exhibit that looked like someone was moving in or out of their apartment and didn't unpack with water bottles and other trash on top of water bottles. There were blankets in dry cleaning bags, and other ordinary pieces you'd find just hung or laying on the floor. The other exhibits were slightly less weird, but there were just a lot of canvases or fabrics painted or dyed in all one color. The Yves Klein stuff all in blue was interesting and very colorful. But other things like a rope died different colors, a pile of rocks, and other things that I could have made myself was not impressive. Maybe if there was an audio guide that explained things better, it would be have been more interesting but I spent an hour in there and had enough. I've never heard more snickering in a museum in my life. The entrance fee is 10€ but free for students, but I would have just preferred to get a coffee something instead. No offense to those who like really modern art, but this was just not for me. Plan to spend 1-1.5 hours here, it's not super big. It was raining and cold in Nice when we went, so we didn't feel like we wasted a good day outside, but this would not be my first choice of things to do in Nice.

Not just housing Picasso's works, it also was his home for six months in 1946. I liked my experience at this museum, though I would attribute it more to its idyllic location than the art content. I did like many of the Picasso sculptures housed here, but found the overall collection on the slight side if you are looking to see a large number of Picasso pieces here. This was evident as the museum supplemented the space with pieces from other artists. I do think it is worth a visit if you are doing a day trip to Antibes. There is a public market (Marche Provencal) nearby that would make for a good place to visit before or after the museum.
