 Chill out with Ug and Og by NiceLife
Free entry first and third Sundays (usually 4 euro), this worthy little museum holds a much bigger idea than its immediate contents suggest. No big budget theatrical special effects of dinosaurs with floor-shaking surround sound. Instead, rows of glass cases, filled with neatly labelled arrow heads and skull fragments, and little paper machie models of cavemen weilding spears and clubs. A gigantic understated story - our real history. Fragments of the origins of man. Reach back and touch life hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Our ape-like ancestor homo erectus traces his lineage back two million years - the dawn of life itself. Yo! Relocation Relocation! These were the very first members of the human race to decide on a home in the South of France.
I can relate to that. Leave a Comment

Behind it stands MAMAC - the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Nice, which traces the history of the European and American avant-garde from the sixties to the present day, whose collection includes New Realists and Pop Art creators, and follows the close association between France and America found more in modern art than in modern politics.Works to be seen from Klein, Christo, Tinguely, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and many others.
Ideal for that very occasional rainy day

 Museum of Modern &
Contemporary Art, Nice by amapola66
We strolled down to the museum on our last day in Nice and it certainly didn't disappoint.
Pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg are featured. One entire section of the museum is devoted to the French artist Yves Klein (1928-92). who founded the museum. His two major works, Garden of Eden and Wall of Fire, can be seen on the rooftop terraces and he was my favourite artist shown there. I particularly liked the amazingly striking blue series of Klein work, (a photgraphic example of his work can be viewed below).
The museum cost us less than €4 (free on the first Sun. of the month)
The best art of all though, was at the end, when reaching the rooftop gardens, you could see a 360 degree view of the whole of Nice, absolutely stunning. I love this building.
(See my photo of the kB on the rooftop).
Open: Wed.-Mon. 10-6 Leave a Comment

 Museum Terrace by vivalasteph
The permanent collection contains some of the most influential artists of the second half of the twentieth century, including Yves Klein, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and local favorite Ben.
The building itself is worth a visit. Small enough to take in everything in an hour or two, and walk up to the roof terrace for a spectacular view of the city. There are ramps and walkways, leading you around the rooftop, with a garden on one side. Address: Avenue St.-SebastienPhone: 93 626162Directions: Open Wednesday-Monday. Free first and third Sundays of the month.Website: http://www.mamac-nice.org

 MOMAC by in4ik
There's a gallery reserved for works by Nice-born Yves Klein (1928-62), and the ground and first floors are taken up with temporary exhibitions. The auditorium regularly screens art-house films. For a breath of fresh air, the adjoining Jardin Maréchal Juin is worth a stroll. Leave a Comment

 Museum of Modern Art
Administrative Offices by Beausoleil
There are gardens outside with sculptures that were displayed in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris in autumn 2003. There are other sculptures and the administrative building/biblioteque is a combination building and sculpture. It's a giant neck and chin topped by a square concrete block. Was someone trying to call administrators blockheads?! Hope not.
Not to be missed is the rooftop garden. You are absolutely on top of Nice and the views are magnificent. There are little bridges from one section to another and all offer grand vistas. We were there on a very windy October day and it's a challenge in a high wind . . . but lots of fun.
