Here, each district keeps its history, and museums turn a walk into a real journey through time and art. Visiting local expositions will bring emotions and new discoveries regardless of your interests: archaeology, classical art, naive and modern pictorial avant-garde are found in a compact and convenient museum network.
In Nice you will find a variety of museums, each with its own unique atmosphere: the Archaeological Museum of Nice (Musee Archeologique de Nice-Cimiez) in the historic quarter of Simiez tells about the ancient past of the city, and the Archaeological Museum Terra Amata on the western slope of Mount Boron (at 26 meters above sea level) is an open-air monument of prehistoric life with excavations and reconstructions of the first settlements. Villa Massena, now the Massena Museum, preserves the atmosphere of the late nineteenth century and family relics inherited from the owners, and art collections are presented in the Museum of Fine Arts on Avenue des Baumettes and in the Museum of Modern Art, located in an expressive architectural building. Fans of naive and primitive art will be interested in the Museum of Primitive Art and the Museum of Naive Arts, and the collections of the Eastern direction are presented in the Museum of Asian Art and the Museum of Oriental Art. A special place is occupied by museums dedicated to masters: The National Museum of Marc Chagall, created in 1966 after the artist donated his works, and museums dedicated to Matisse, located in cozy villas on the hills of Nice. For families with children there is a Museum of the curious and unusual with interactive exhibitions.
The museum poster of Nice is dynamic: the permanent collections coexist with temporary exhibitions and imported exhibitions from Paris and European institutions, and the seasonal series of projects renew the route for repeated visits. Some museums alternate themed screenings, retrospectives and joint projects with foreign galleries, making the city attractive to those who love contemporary art and historical research. Impressions complement activities in historic villas and outdoor areas of Simye and Boron – watch out for poster updates, especially during the summer and autumn months when exhibition programs are most intense.
Come to Nice to experience the variety of museum routes and experience the local culture. The best way to discover hidden stories and treasures of expositions is to book a tour with a private guide: an experienced guide will select the best route, tell little-known facts, help with tickets and make your trip to museums truly memorable. Book your tour in advance and let Nice reveal itself in all its versatility.
