Massena Museum
The neoclassical Italianate architecture of Massena Museum was inspired by the Rothschild villa in Cannes. A very skillful restoration of the historic gardens was conducted in 2006-2007, which restored the original luster of the aristocratic mansion. The villa is surrounded by a courtyard, a French garden, and a great lawn. Wander past remarkable plants, such as the Magnolia grandiflora, Araucaria excelsa, Melaleuca, and Brachychiton populneum. Plan a trip to Nice easily and quickly by telling Klarna Trips to suggest an itinerary.

Opens at 10 in the morning but a little gem of a museum. Takes about 1.5 hours to visit and it is very interesting in seeing some of the history of Nice

Surprisingly more interesting than I expected. Much more than the Residential Villa in golden finishing that I thought it was. It's a great trip through history. A storyteller of the City development into a holiday winter destination of North European aristocracy. Includes excellent examples of fashion jewellery, outfits and memorabilia. Highly recommended. The garden is also worth a stroll.

Villa Masséna is a wonderful museum, right in the center of Nice. It has a beautiful park around. There are 2 floors. The ground floor is with adorable decorated rooms and in the living room you can see interesting movie about history of Nice and Villa. The first floor has unexpected things: not only pictures, but some jewelry and costume elements. Highly recommend 👌

The Villa itself is impressive and large. There are 3 different floors with the top one being reserved for temporary exhibitions. I would warn people that most of the tour is in french which makes it complicated to understand what we are looking at. Otherwise great visit and fully worth the price.

Great historical location in Nice, definitely worth visiting. You can take an audio tour guide. Beautiful interiors and garden, take your time and enjoy such a great location. We liked garden the most with orange trees and palms surrounding the villa.

Beautiful museum. Mosaic floors. Empress Josephine's coronation Cape and diadem. Beautiful fin de siecle posters for the height of French Riviera chic. Photos , paintings and maps. There are toilets downstairs. Staff at the ticket office were lovely. Security staff were very present.
