  • This is probably a skewed review because I don't like Chagall, an old fashioned sugary figurative painter out of pace with his own contemporaries. The paintings exhibited are strictly religious...

  • Great layout, a good number of large paintings by Chagall, and also an impressive set of prints including prints that were made for books. It is definitely worth spending a couple of hours. My only disappointment (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is that the paintings are mostly picked from the religious works of Chagall, and some of the masterpieces are missing. Nonetheless, there's a sense of awe from standing in front of these paintings.
  • A must museum for those fans of Modernist Art. In this one, the visitor will find many works religion-inspired of the artist: depictions of illustrations related in the Old Testament, as the artist was Jewish. Also, some works are abstracts, free to interpretation. Chagall was as well remarked for stained glass windows, and some of them can be found in this museum.
  • Superb collection of Chagall’s artwork. We thoroughly enjoyed it. There is a QR code for commentary of some of the artwork which is very helpful. Also a nice addition is the QR code for kid’s commentaries as well.
  • The artworks are majestic. Small Museum, not too many pieces, 10 eur ticket, museum not included in the Museum pass like the rest. The audio guides via QR code very practical and good, free WiFi should be provided tho
  • The museum is not easily assessable by foot. It’s a small museum and was mainly about his published illustrations and his history of putting them together. They had many paintings but mentioned very little of his stained glass accomplishments which is probably more noticeable. They had two windows in the auditorium of his creations.
