    We didn't know what to expect, but thoroughly enjoyed our experience and time here! Easy to walk to…read morefrom the Nice city center. 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

    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.

Belt buckles, pens, and wristwatches will excite the arrogant security guards who will then feel all over your body! There are long lines to enter the museum. The tickets are too expensive. I was charged to get in, but I noticed that some people have posted that the museum is free. I may have been scammed by the employees. Crummy Service. Awful Value for the expensive tickets. Please avoid the Musée Masséna!

Not my style, I was hoping for more fake furniture styled in how the family once styled it and there is some, but that some is small lol. It is only downstairs too. BUT this place is free so just go. That is if you are like me, and like to go see architecture, you will love it, so I stuck it out and did all floors. You can snap photos of anything you like as well, unlike half and half of Euopean museums where you are not sure if you can take photos, but here you can! I went when it was closed but the locals all play around the roundabout and have conversations on the benches provided. The entrey is in the back of the house so enter the side area, FACING the house, on the left.

    This museum taught me that perhaps modern art isn't exactly my muse. It's a good museum, but I've…read morebeen to better. I can't say I was particularly inspired by a lot of the art. 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.

    Maybe I don't appreciate modern art or I'm not cultured enough, but this was one of my least…read morefavorite museums I've been to. 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.
