Musée Matisse

This completely renovated 17th-century Genoese 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 cut-outs. Closed Tuesdays.
