There are a number of fine museums in art, second only to Paris in number, among French cities. Art continues to have a huge influence on Nice with artists relocating either there or nearby. The museums collectively showcase such a large body of work that you need at least a weekend to view them all. Entrance used to be free but now that is only the case two days out of the month so you would be wise to take out one of the seven day passes.
Matisse Museum. Situated next to the Roman excavations, this museum is based inside a villa and displays two hundred and thirty of the artist's works including his very last, Flowers and Fruits which was created in 1935. Many of his other works such as his esteemed sculptures and canvasses are also on display and overall, is simply the best collection of Matisses's work anywhere.
Marc Chagall Museum. The museum, which lies at the top of the hill to take advantage of the bright lights of the Mediterranean, was designed specifically with Chagall's works in mind. Chagall himself opened its doors in 1972 and his creations are subdivided into themes in order to give an idea of the more general interpretations of his work.
Museum of Fine Arts Jules-Cheret. Also located in a villa, this museum was originally built for a Russian princess. It is one of the smallest yet highest quality museums in France and features a diverse and enigmatic collection. It features paintings by Klees Van Dongen and Jules-Cheret himself.
Asian Arts Museum. Kenzo Tange, the Japanese architect, was responsible for designing the museum which is located in a building on an artificial lake. It is made of glass and white marble. The art is from Japan, China, South East Asia and India and includes the Tea Ceremony.
