While the museum scene is thriving around Nice, and there are some respectable pieces on display…read morehere, this particular museum is direly in need of maintenance! When I visited in January 2024 water was dripping from the ceiling. To catch the rainwater, about a dozen buckets were placed around the first floor greenhoused area (looked like a workshop presentation area with chairs and long tables). The ceilings of multiple rooms on the ground floor were peeling large sections of paint. It made me wonder if these conditions were ideal for the various art mediums on display. I hope they can make some repairs soon! The museum itself isn't very big, walking in there's a main staircase directly to the right after the ticket counter. This leads to the second floor landing with one of the iterations of Rodin's "The Kiss" placed prominently on display. There are a handful of rooms on the second floor and the same on the first, ranging from small to large scale paintings and some sculpture. Easy to go thru in about an hour. Bathrooms are available. Tickets are €10 though you can purchase a museum pass for €15 which grants access to 10 municipal museums in Nice over 4 days. (Local Nice residents can pick up this pass for free with ID and proof of residency.) Guided tour in English is available at 3pm on Saturdays by reservation only for a €6.20 surcharge on top of ticket price.

This museum taught me that perhaps modern art isn't exactly my muse. It's a good museum, but I've…read morebeen to better. I can't say I was particularly inspired by a lot of the art. Best room is with the artist who's fascinated with the vibrant blue and women using their bodies to paint on canvases. Everything is translated into multiple languages. Overall it deals with modern Italian art from the 1960-70s. Lots of films in Italian.

Maybe I don't appreciate modern art or I'm not cultured enough, but this was one of my least…read morefavorite museums I've been to. 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.

Musée Picasso is an art museum devoted to the works of Pablo Picasso. It is located in Antibes in…read morethe beautiful Chateau Grimaldi, which has a great seaside location. 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.

If you've traversed all the way out to Ezé, the Jardin is a no-brainer. I'd say you can probably see all you need in about 30-60 minutes, depending on how much "Selfying" you'll be doing. I think it's about $7-10 USD, and worth it for the pictures alone. Bring drinks as some businesses aren't open early. ALSO, USE THE RESTROOM BEFORE HEADING UP TO EZÉ. Bathrooms don't open until like 10am. Have fun!
