Musee Matisse, Nice

Beautiful building of the museum. Generously designed exhibition halls. The lovers of Matisse will be excited. The others will at least have a nice walk and can use a clean bathroom, which is also important. Nice and helpful staff.

This was a lovely stop in Nice, more so for the experience as a whole and not based on the amount of Matisse’s work represented within. They did have more obscure pieces of his fabric work, furnishings, and stained glass in addition to the more well-known paper cut outs. The Villa it is housed in adds to the excursion immensely, and there is a park outside to have a lovely picnic in if you come prepared. There is no parking at the building, so we just drove around until we found a space.

Museum is good, but doesn't have enough character for me. It was exhibition not only for Matisse, also for Hackney... Only a few paintings of Matisse. A lot of people... The building of Museum is looking nicer from outside then from inside

Only if you are a serious Matisse fan. 10 euros per person for this sparse exhibit. Maybe go if you have the Nice museum pass. Enjoy the nearby park, ruins, and building outside for free.

Beautiful peaceful surroundings and gardens, friendly museum staff, David Hockney art on display, QR codes for English speaking information on each artwork, very enjoyable visit. Bus 33 from Nice town centre.
