    This completely renovated 17th-century Genoan-style villa in the heart of the olive grove in the Gardens of Cimiez houses the personal collection of the great Fauvist painter who lived in Nice from 1917 until his death in 1954. Works from all periods of his life offer a comprehensive panorama: from the first paintings made in 1890 to the famous gouache cutouts, 236 drawings, 218 engravings and the complete presentation of the books illustrated by the artist.

  • I know it is not a sound behaviour to rush into a museum immediately after arrival to a fashionable Mediterranean resort in summer. I, however, did... That was the Matisse Museum. Matisse spent many years in Nice (can you really blame him??), so the city has a considerable amount of his works. The museum is housed in (as well as below) a 17th-century villa, called Arena Villa, and displays all sorts of the artist's works. You'll see drawings, paintings, bronzes, fabrics, artifacts. Among things especially worthy of mention are: -Blue Nude series, among which Blue Nude IV (done in 1952) -Still Life With Pomegranates (saw that even in my school books) -Flowers and Fruits (last work Matisse managed to complete before his death)

    Nice's own "Matisserie", fabulous collection of the masters works. After a couple of hours here you'll be totally "Matissed-out" In a wonderful setting in Cimiez, amidst an olive grove which is a popular weekend picnic location for Nice families. Paths are named after jazz giants, such as Allee Dizzy Gillespie, as a reminder of the jazz festival held each year .

    The Matisse Museum is a 17th century Italian villa with distinctive red walls situated on a hill just above the center of Nice in the heart of an olive grove close to the Hotel Regina where Matisse lived. The park and nearby ruins were part of the ancient Roman City of Cemenelum, now known as Cimiez. Matisse lived in Nice from 1917 to 1954. He donated part of the museum’s collection.

  • If you like the works of Matisse, this is an excellent museum. It was expanded earlier in the 90s, and it includes many of his paintings, sketches, sculptures and pottery.

  • Directions: In the Cimiez section of Nice (there's also an archaeological museum and an old Franciscan monastery in this area of town).
