Our eyes were captured by the painting "Douce Brise" by MIK, showing beautiful Cote d'Azure colours - boats on the sea, a small peninsula in the back. The light is marvelous, the reflection of the boats on the calm sea is rendered in a beautiful way, the work exhales the calmness of mediterranean lifestyle. We could not buy the picture on the spot, so we had professional contact afterwards. Upfront payment and delivery went very smooth, so now the picture is brightening our living room in southern Germany. Hans-Willi

The larger pieces are expensive (up towards 1000 Euro), but they have smaller pieces between 50 and 100 Euro. I didn't buy anything but I'm going to save my money and later get one of the lamps. To see the work, check out the website (website could be better - when I looked lots of the links didn't have images).

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
