Housed in an interesting venue near Roman ruins, this is a great small collection of early Matisse work that show his evolution as an artist. Our guide was helpful. this a great asset to Nice and a must see for art lovers! More

This museum, set in an old house, has only a limited collection, but it is a very nice collection and one can enjoy it without suffering museum fatigue. It is next to the archeology museum and easily reachable by public bus. More
