It's a very nice museum. History flashed before my eyes.I visited with my family on holiday in Nice. They said photography is prohibited. But I have collected good memories.

This was a lovely stop in Nice, more so for the experience as a whole and not based on the amount of Matisse’s work represented within. They did have more obscure pieces of his fabric work, furnishings, and stained glass in addition to the more well-known paper cut outs. The Villa it is housed in adds to the excursion immensely, and there is a park outside to have a lovely picnic in if you come prepared. There is no parking at the building, so we just drove around until we found a space.

Museum is good, but doesn't have enough character for me. It was exhibition not only for Matisse, also for Hackney... Only a few paintings of Matisse. A lot of people... The building of Museum is looking nicer from outside then from inside
