Musée Matisse

The Musée Matisse, located at 164 Avenue des Arènes de Cimiez, 06000 Nice, France, is housed in the Villa des Arènes, a 17th-century Genoese villa. The museum was inaugurated in 1963 and underwent renovations and expansions between 1987 and 1993, led by architect Jean-François Bodin. It features a collection of nearly 600 works and 138 objects donated by Henri Matisse and his heirs, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and ceramics. The museum's design integrates the villa's historical architecture with modern elements, providing a harmonious setting for the displayed artworks. (nice.fr)
