There's tonnes of exhibits and interesting displays. I wouldn't have expected that out of an Italian Egyptian museum. I also love that it wasn't too touristy and that it was pretty chilled and relaxed. I had a great time. If my feet weren't hurting, I would have stayed way longer.

It hit the mark on many fronts, but it was disappointing in other ways. First, the signage for which line is which is not intuitive. If you want to go up the observation lift, there's a different line than if you just want to go to the museum. Again, the signs of where to go next are vague, and the museum staff don't necessarily wear a uniform, so be prepared for virtually anyone to ask for your ticket. Second, there's a one-way path through the museum, and once you've gone through, they will not allow you back through. There's a beautiful area to sit and watch films during your visit, but it seems counterintuitive to go to that area quite early in your visit. There are no signs indicating you won't be allowed back to enjoy previous exhibits. That's a user design issue that really marred my impression. Now for the good things. The museum has an excellent virtual film area that I recommend. It's obviously a nascent area of film and digital media, but this was very worth the time. The early film exhibits are world class. That alone is worth the price of admission. I wish I could take every film class to this museum! It is simply outstanding. To summarize, some wonderful exhibits sandwiched in with meh exhibits (I could skip the two levels of film posters), and some hit or miss service. Still worth a visit, just be aware of its inconsistencies.

I'm a movie lover and this is one of the best museums I've ever been to. We literally spent the…read moreentire day here and still needed more time! This is a sprawling, multi-storied (5 levels comprising of 5,000 square feet), treasure trove of Italian movie history that I highly recommend to any film buff! For just €11 admission, this place is a bargain. The museum starts with an incredible exhibit on the archaeology of cinema. Here's where you'll find a jaw-dropping collection of magic lanterns, optical boxes, phenakistiscope disks, and original 18th century "Peepshow" boxes. There's a crazy amount of photographs and videos that cover all things movie history. The top level has a cool movie poster gallery. Do NOT miss this if you are a fan of film art! There are different areas and eras that are covered from indie cinema to experimental cinema to trash films to spaghetti westerns to giallo horror to neorealism to modern-day classics and more. Props from popular films, stop-motion demonstrations, and a fun atrium where you can lie down on sofas and watch film clips. Of course it's Italy-centric, but there are items from American films too. Your ticket also includes a special exhibit. When I visited, it was an audio exhibit on film music throughout the ages (and it was awesome)! We needed every second here, but we are huge film fans. There's a small cafeteria on the first floor for light snacks. The museum is so huge that even with large crowds, it never feels crowded. I noticed some of the employees were gruff and impatient with visitors, especially if you didn't speak fluent Italian. We also saw some employees yelling at the large groups of Italian schoolchildren. The biggest letdown here is the gift shop. It's okay, but is mostly filled with replica posters and boring knick-knacks that you can buy anywhere, even in the U.S. Note that the museum is CLOSED on Tuesdays!

There is just so much to see here and while I definitely enjoyed seeing this automotive history, I also learned some too. For example, the "T" in Fiat is "Torino" because the company was chiefly based here in Turin. Just about every vehicle on display also included a caption that explained some of its history but also a QR code you could scan for more information in Italian or English. With their free wifi, I was snapping pictures and taking screen snaps to document what I saw. Old cars, new cars, historic cars, horseless carriages, motorcycles and so much more. Not just Italian cars, there were Packards and Austins and Cadillacs and Jaguars and even an East German Trabant. Absolutely fabulous and well worth the price of admission. Bring comfy shoes, be sure your battery is fully charged and have a fantastic time! (I thought the gift shop was a bit limited and I wasn't really able to find anything particularly memorable to commemorate my visit. I ended up with a keychain that I turned into a magnet.

I've been to the Tate Modern, San Francisco MoMa, and Bilbao Guggenheim, and I found the art in this place just too bizarre for my taste. There were 3 floors of exhibits and it was enough for me - the first floor was a temporary exhibit and was so strange. There was a giant " 1-bedroom " apartment exhibit that looked like someone was moving in or out of their apartment and didn't unpack with water bottles and other trash on top of water bottles. There were blankets in dry cleaning bags, and other ordinary pieces you'd find just hung or laying on the floor. The other exhibits were slightly less weird, but there were just a lot of canvases or fabrics painted or dyed in all one color. The Yves Klein stuff all in blue was interesting and very colorful. But other things like a rope died different colors, a pile of rocks, and other things that I could have made myself was not impressive. Maybe if there was an audio guide that explained things better, it would be have been more interesting but I spent an hour in there and had enough. I've never heard more snickering in a museum in my life. The entrance fee is 10€ but free for students, but I would have just preferred to get a coffee something instead. No offense to those who like really modern art, but this was just not for me. Plan to spend 1-1.5 hours here, it's not super big. It was raining and cold in Nice when we went, so we didn't feel like we wasted a good day outside, but this would not be my first choice of things to do in Nice.

Not just housing Picasso's works, it also was his home for six months in 1946. I liked my experience at this museum, though I would attribute it more to its idyllic location than the art content. I did like many of the Picasso sculptures housed here, but found the overall collection on the slight side if you are looking to see a large number of Picasso pieces here. This was evident as the museum supplemented the space with pieces from other artists. I do think it is worth a visit if you are doing a day trip to Antibes. There is a public market (Marche Provencal) nearby that would make for a good place to visit before or after the museum.
