An itinerary designed to Entdecken the best of Niçoise art, from antiquity to the 20th-century modernists.
Matisse Museum
Tucked inside the Villa des Arènes, in the heart of the Cimiez olive groves, this museum holds the world's finest collection of Matisse works — paintings, drawings, cut gouaches and sculptures that trace the entire career of the Niçoise master. Pure emotion — this is where colour becomes light.

Marc Chagall National Museum
The sanctuary of Chagall's Biblical Message: 17 monumental paintings on Genesis, Exodus and the Song of Songs, conceived by Chagall himself. Deep blues, incandescent reds, mosaics and stained glass that filter the light — a spiritual as much as artistic experience.

Jules Chéret Fine Arts Museum
A magnificent 1878 Genoese villa with grand state rooms, holding treasures from the 17th to the 20th century: Carle Van Loo, Fragonard, Jules Chéret, Raoul Dufy, Sisley… An elegant setting where classical art converses with Impressionism and Niçoise modernism.
