Marseille's ancient Mediterranean heritage comes to life inside its sharpest contemporary museum…read more For a unique perspective of top-drawer Musée des Civilisations d'Europe et de la Méditerranée, follow the footpath that helter-skelters between the glass wall of the cube-shaped building and its outer lace shell, designed in high-tech black concrete to echo the fishing nets cast around Marseille since inception. At night the building is lit brilliant blue. The museum's vast and diverse collection is the key to understanding Marseille's backstory. End in neighboring Fort St-Jean, in the peaceful Jardin des Migrations, where cultural diversity and migration in the region gets a horticultural spin.

In fact, the architectural elements in the chapel were beautiful, and I was allowed to very carefully take a photo of only the ceiling! We were amused to see that the upcoming visiting exhibition is from our own area of the world and belongs to someone we had met on occasion.

Massive windows allowing great light into the studio with period pieces and instruments used by the artist for his work. One can imaging the light cast upon the pieces which can be found in many of his works especially his still life pieces. The building houses a gift shop and is surrounded by a garden. Beware, besides mosquitos ... the studio is set in a hilly residential area with no street parking. Parking is several blocks away - uphill or down (with a subsequent corresponding descent or ascent upon the return!).

It's nowhere near as crowded and in my opinion, has more local flavor.

We arrived in the afternoon and apparently that day admission fees were waived due to a few temporary exhibit closures. Free admission! : ) Three rooms were blocked off.. I would have loved to see Chagall's timeline, but nevertheless, what we did see was amazing!!! The museum was not large and overwhelming. His work was beautifully displayed. A lot of interesting biblical pieces, glass stained pieces, and a few circus gypsy references. Plenty of comfy benches to sit and resonate. Drawings were displayed as well. A small souvenir bookshop was located next to the museum where I bought a few art postcards and a Chagall museum book. Talented artist and so worth the visit! Must see for sure

You either love the artist Marc Chagall or you don't. I've rarely seen any middle of the road…read morereview of his work. When I told my French cousin we were visiting this museum he looked aghast. Not a fan. Me, on the other hand, I find joy, inspiration and melancholy in Chagall's work. His stained glass inspires. His canvases touch on culture, religion and history, and also weave in colorful influences of a later life spent in the South of France. Tucked in an affluent hillside in Nice, the museum can be booked ahead or tickets purchased in person. They have many large-scale oil paintings, along with stained glass, mosaics, watercolors and pen and ink drawings. Recommended. The museum has an outdoor cafe, for those who want a quick pick me up after the museum, and to linger.
