You either love the artist Marc Chagall or you don't. I've rarely seen any middle of the road…read morereview of his work. When I told my French cousin we were visiting this museum he looked aghast. Not a fan. Me, on the other hand, I find joy, inspiration and melancholy in Chagall's work. His stained glass inspires. His canvases touch on culture, religion and history, and also weave in colorful influences of a later life spent in the South of France. Tucked in an affluent hillside in Nice, the museum can be booked ahead or tickets purchased in person. They have many large-scale oil paintings, along with stained glass, mosaics, watercolors and pen and ink drawings. Recommended. The museum has an outdoor cafe, for those who want a quick pick me up after the museum, and to linger.

We arrived in the afternoon and apparently that day admission fees were waived due to a few temporary exhibit closures. Free admission! : ) Three rooms were blocked off.. I would have loved to see Chagall's timeline, but nevertheless, what we did see was amazing!!! The museum was not large and overwhelming. His work was beautifully displayed. A lot of interesting biblical pieces, glass stained pieces, and a few circus gypsy references. Plenty of comfy benches to sit and resonate. Drawings were displayed as well. A small souvenir bookshop was located next to the museum where I bought a few art postcards and a Chagall museum book. Talented artist and so worth the visit! Must see for sure

Just amazing if you like this painter. While the most…read moreimportant work of this artist are shown elsewhere, there is a lot to discover here. The tour of this museum will help better understand the genesis of his paintings and his life in general. The displays are not extravagant and the whole museum tour can be done in 2 hours . Again if you are in Nice, and would like to do something more cultural than lie down on the beach, this is a good destination.

Picturesque museum in the heart of Nice that is Obviously dedicated to the works of Matisse.

Being so appalled she bought the grounds and the rest is history. Those same trees still stand today and they are magnificent There were also lots of orange trees, a lovely garden, original Renoir paintings within the house, family photos, and a nice film featuring Jean Renoir talking about growing up on the estate, and a few with Renoir himself painting in his wheelchair and surrounded by friends. Doing what you love for your whole life is definitely something to which we should all aspire Be sure to stop by!

It's the only decent stationary shop in central Nice that I know of. Monoprix and FNAC sell some paper and office supplies, but their stuff is usually very poor quality -- and the service at FNAC?

Musée Picasso is an art museum devoted to the works of Pablo Picasso. It is located in Antibes in…read morethe beautiful Chateau Grimaldi, which has a great seaside location. 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.

While the museum scene is thriving around Nice, and there are some respectable pieces on display…read morehere, this particular museum is direly in need of maintenance! When I visited in January 2024 water was dripping from the ceiling. To catch the rainwater, about a dozen buckets were placed around the first floor greenhoused area (looked like a workshop presentation area with chairs and long tables). The ceilings of multiple rooms on the ground floor were peeling large sections of paint. It made me wonder if these conditions were ideal for the various art mediums on display. I hope they can make some repairs soon! The museum itself isn't very big, walking in there's a main staircase directly to the right after the ticket counter. This leads to the second floor landing with one of the iterations of Rodin's "The Kiss" placed prominently on display. There are a handful of rooms on the second floor and the same on the first, ranging from small to large scale paintings and some sculpture. Easy to go thru in about an hour. Bathrooms are available. Tickets are €10 though you can purchase a museum pass for €15 which grants access to 10 municipal museums in Nice over 4 days. (Local Nice residents can pick up this pass for free with ID and proof of residency.) Guided tour in English is available at 3pm on Saturdays by reservation only for a €6.20 surcharge on top of ticket price.

Wow, what a view!…read more View, views, views! Skip the line by buying online. Get here early, before the crowds, and you'll get all the pictures you need. If you've traversed all the way out to Ezé, the Jardin is a no-brainer. I'd say you can probably see all you need in about 30-60 minutes, depending on how much "Selfying" you'll be doing. I think it's about $7-10 USD, and worth it for the pictures alone. Bring drinks as some businesses aren't open early. ALSO, USE THE RESTROOM BEFORE HEADING UP TO EZÉ. Bathrooms don't open until like 10am. Have fun!
