The Matisse Museum

Housed in an elegant 17th-century villa in the heart of the century-old olive trees of the Cimiez Arena, the Matisse museum offers a unique immersion in the world of one of the greatest artists of modern art. 

As he lived in Nice for almost 40 years, this museum pays tribute to Henri Matisse through an exceptional collection of over 700 works and objects that once belonged to him: paintings, drawings, sculptures… all testifying to his artistic evolution and his quest for light, simplicity and color.
