This was a lovely stop in Nice, more so for the experience as a whole and not based on the amount of Matisse’s work represented within. They did have more obscure pieces of his fabric work, furnishings, and stained glass in addition to the more well-known paper cut outs. The Villa it is housed in adds to the excursion immensely, and there is a park outside to have a lovely picnic in if you come prepared. There is no parking at the building, so we just drove around until we found a space.

You get to learn about Matisse's life, experiences, travels and influences. A few wonderful examples of his art, but of course most of the really well known material is elsewhere. Entrance is not that easy to find!

Great place to visit. It was interesting to meet the art of Matisse in real life. But I expected more information about his life, about the way to his style and about the place he lived in. The museum located exactly in the house where the artist lived some time, but there wasn't much information about it. I can recommend to visit this place for once I wouldn't go directly to Nice with a goal to go to this museum📍

Beautiful peaceful surroundings and gardens, friendly museum staff, David Hockney art on display, QR codes for English speaking information on each artwork, very enjoyable visit. Bus 33 from Nice town centre.

Museum is good, but doesn't have enough character for me. It was exhibition not only for Matisse, also for Hackney... Only a few paintings of Matisse. A lot of people... The building of Museum is looking nicer from outside then from inside

It's a very small museum that showcases only a tiny bit of Matisse's work. It's a long way to go up to Cimiez to see it. However, the Picasso-Matisse temporary exhibition was very interesting to see. I especially enjoyed the photographs of the painters in their studios. It was very humanizing and humbling to see them age.

The greatest works aren't here. The museum is definitely too crowded; it lacks a wardrobe so you have to carry your rucksack with you all the time, which is quite uncomfortable. Lockers at the entrance get full very quickly, so if you have other bulky items (luggage, umbrella) you have just to drop them at the entrance and pray to God to find them again when you exit. To get there take bus #5 from the centre

It's a beautiful museum if you like Matisse. Students don't pay at all if they present their card. When I went, a lot of matisses paintings had gone to Japan for an exhibition but I was amazed at a collection of 10 or so paintings lent by a family in the villa. I had never seen these and really loved them. The shop is lovely too and you can buy posters or reprographies.

Beautiful building of the museum. Generously designed exhibition halls. The lovers of Matisse will be excited. The others will at least have a nice walk and can use a clean bathroom, which is also important. Nice and helpful staff.

Only if you are a serious Matisse fan. 10 euros per person for this sparse exhibit. Maybe go if you have the Nice museum pass. Enjoy the nearby park, ruins, and building outside for free.

I was so happy there. Amazing journey through time of the artist’s life. Tips: Don’t expect to see everything Matisse has created in his life. If you're not a fan of the work, don't waste time.

Apparently, it was Hockney-Matisse. The artworks were 35% Matisse's and 65% Hockney's. It's not worth the 10€ the adults have to pay. So if you are looking for Matisse, you won't find him there. Also, it's far away from civilization, so you better take the bus or the train.

Disappointing, the temporary exhibition was text on some walls and a few small images. The permanent exhibitions were more exciting but not the range of work I expected. I wouldn’t recommend paying or travelling to the museum.

Sehr interessante Ausstellung. Die Ausstellung an sich ist etwas kleiner als man von dem Gebäude erwartet:) Insgesamt hat uns gefallen, obwohl man ziemlich lange Schlange steht.

The museum is nice but it just doesn’t have a lot of Matisse’s art pieces, nor the best ones. It’s more about his life I guess. I don’t mind cause I went there for free so I was happy

I visited the museum with the intention to learn more about Matisse. The red villa is the main part of the museum where his biography and most of his paintings, drawings, sculptures and some personal belongings are presented. The first part right at the entrance is dedicated to temporary exhibitions, like the Tom Wesselmann's one I saw. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and it took me 2 hours and half to see and read everything, but it could be done much quicker. I should come back another time though, since the current exhibition had taken pretty much half of the museum's space, I was left wanting to see more of Matisse himself. I'm glad I managed at least to see one of his famous Blue Nudes. The museum's shop was also very nice. The villa is very pretty on the outside too and the gardens around are great for a walk or picnic.

Great place to visit discovering some art and art that has taken influence from Matisse Easy acces with a buss. Also the area around is really nice!

Beautiful collections and history of Henri Matisse’s personal collections and works. Included in the Nice Museum Pass - the pass gets access to more museums than one could visit in its 3 day duration.

I have a print from this museum at home so it has been a dream of mine to pay it a visit. A beautiful location up the hill, free entry for students, and free entry to the Archeology Museum - what’s not to like? I also liked the storytelling when it came to Matisse’s travels and how that related to his artwork and creativity. The only downside is my print (Danseuse Créole) isn’t currently on display!

(Translated by Google) Superb museum to visit without forgetting the arenas of Cimiez you are there that is to say the museum and the arenas are side by side you cannot miss them and as long as you take a tour of the Monastery of Cimiez and its rose garden which will make you contemplate Nice in a different way seen from the North not badly also to the South and the East hills, Mont Boron, Observatory, the Castle, Old Nice & the Mediterranean which is not far away. Here is a beautiful afternoon plan a woolen in winter and a hat in summer, spring and autumn are ideal periods for you tender in these places. Good walks to all. Phil (Original) Superbe musée à visiter sans oublier les arènes de Cimiez vous y êtes c'est-à-dire le musée et les arènes sont côte à côte vous ne pouvez pas les manquer et tant que vous faites un tour au Monastère de Cimiez et de sa roseraie qui vous fera contempler Nice de façon différente vue du Nord pas mal aussi au Sud et les collines Est , Mont Boron, Observatoire , le Château, le Vieux-Nice & la Méditerranée qui n'est pas loin. Voilà une belle après-midi prévoyez une laine l'hiver et un chapeau l'été, le printemps et l'automne sont des périodes idéale pour vous tendres dans ces lieux. Bonnes balades à toutes & tous. Phil

This is an excellent collection of Matisse's work, particularly his later collections. It is as much a history of him and his era as it is an art gallery. The entire museum is accessible for people with mobility issues. It is also bite-sized so folks won't get tired our from walking and standing. The use of video as well as print makes it more interesting and varied. You can really see how the artist's work grew and changed as he was exposed to different experiences. The archeology museum is housed on the same grounds so you can see both at the same time. The museum pass that we got at the MOMAC worked here as well. It is to Euros for 24 hours and allows you to see the best museums in Nice. I highly recommend that you add it to your Nice itinerary.

Great museum. I learned a lot about Matisse and Picasso. Other museums are included in the price of the ticket. Under 18 is free, over 18 is €10 each. Lots of amazing pieces here to see. Pictures of behind the scenes of the paintings, sketches, preworks of the artist practicing the final piece, this museum has it all.

Well selected impressive art overview on Matisse paintings, sculptures and sketches. In a nice surrounding. Worth to see

Lovely to see some special parts of this artist's work. Housing various paintings, sculptures and even stained glass work by Matisse.

For what it represents and the works of art on display, I think it is a must visit especially if you are interested in Provencal grand Masters. It is a small museum so you maybe disappointed if you are looking for a huge collection. But why not spend a couple of hours on the ground, snd have a coffee and just enjoy it.

(Translated by Google) Arguably, this is a place I think is more beautiful than any museum in Nice. The museum exhibition is divided into permanent and special exhibitions. You can see Matisse's last works from the beginning. If you like Matisse, we recommend visiting the house where Matisse lived until the end. (Original) 단언컨대, 니스에 있는 어떤 뮤지엄보다 아름답다고 생각하는 곳 입니다. 뮤지엄 전시는 상설과 특별전으로 나눠지는데, 마티스의 초창기부터 마지막 작업들을 볼 수 있으며, 마티스를 좋아하신다면 마티스가 마지막 까지 살았던 집도 가보시길 추천합니다.

We caught the Matisse Picasso exhibit in the museum and we really appreciate it. We saw many works of Matisse and Picasso that demonstrated the artists influence on one another. On the whole we thought it was a really compact and well themed museum. Of course if one would be disappointed if you hope to catch the major works of Matisse there. If you go there wanting to learn more about Matisse, i think you will find a lot of interesting stuff.

The whole villa is really stunning and the information regarding the artist and art is well written and fun to read. It’s fun to get a glimpse of how the artist goes through different eras in his work. The gift shop was a real treat with loads of posters, books and crafts!

Honestly quite disappointed by Matisse art, I expected more from such a famous artist. The place is still very nice, the exhibit are well put together and the staff is very kind. You'll love it if you're into Matisse. Very relaxing parc around it too.

This was one of our stops using the 4 day (4 jours) ville de Nice / musees de Nice museum pass. We loved how many pieces they had to show! The sketches were my personal favorites but of course the paintings were amazing to see in person as well. They had an exhibition on Shirley Jaffe, who I was unfamiliar with before but enjoyed experiencing. Definitely recommend making the trip out to see if you have the pass and doubling up with the musee d’archeologie. We spent ~2 hours between the two museums that day.

beautiful museum at a unique location – however I was a bit disappointed by the exhibitions. i felt like there was a lack of order / guidance, the exhibited works sometimes appeared to be in quite a random order. i expected to experience more of matisses work, his ideas and visions – sadly, i had the feeling that more than 50% of the (permanent!) exhibition consisted of works by other artists. anyway – the building is very nice and the personnel is kind and polite.

Very disappointed. Last went there 10 years ago and this time only about half the place open. Not exactly a huge amount of Matisse artworks. In fact I saw two of the bronzes in Tate Modern a few weeks ago. Was nicer sitting in the park afterwards.

The exhibition is surprisingly short, I was a bit disappointed by the size of the collection and that 90% of the texts are written only in French. The temporary exhibition with/on the works of the former Pierre Matisse Gallery was very interesting though. If you have time, you should definitely go for the Museum Pass for 15 EUR and see more places, it’s worth it much more. The neighborhood, the building and the park around is worth a visit.

Wonderful experience. Excelent organising of iformations. Relaxing time. Must to do in Nice.

Very interesting museum. Beautiful paitings. Pity that every information is in French. It is difficult for foreignes who would like to more to know about all works there. Anyway, its Worth to see.

Interesting museum which is free for students the only downside is that everything is in French!

Really wanted to 5-starred this museum, but as many reviews have said, it is lacking a good structure and everything is in French. There were not that much of Matisse's paintings as well. It is free with student card, so still would be nice to go when in Nice.

Very poorly suitable for disabled. Almost no English description in the "National" museum. Poor collection. Not worth a visit. Better go to Marc Chagall museum if you haven't been yet. This one can easily be missed.

The museum is placed in a beautiful building in a park. There are not only paintings, but also sculptures or engravings plus some info on his life and artistical evolution.

Very short visit. Most interesting painting are not here

Some of the great paintings and sculptures.

Great visit and wonderful setting around the musée. Combine with the archaeological site, cemetery, and monastery jardin next to it for a nice, educational experience.

If you are an art lover this place is perfect for you. In the gallery yoi will find Matisse paintings for and from time to time other half is changed. Plus for students entry is free.

I really loved the Matisse museum. It’s in a great area and the content was pieced together in a way that allowed me to ponder who Matisse was as a man. I wished there was more, but maybe I’m glad there wasn’t as I’ll know go out and look for more info on my own. Great deal to buy the Nice museum pass.

The Matisse Museum is somewhat average, but it's worth a visit for art enthusiasts. I highly recommend purchasing a combination ticket. The park where it is located is also nice, and there is a parking lot nearby for visitors to use.

I visited a special exhibition dedicated to Matisse in the 30s . A lot of art pieces were brought for this purpose from other museums and private collections. No regrets I vent. Some of the works I've seen for the first time. The building itself and the grounds around with antique Roman time ruins also worth visiting if you have spare time. If you are limited in time and are not particularly contemporary art researcher I would skip this place.

The Matisse Museum is free for students! It's a super cool experience that shows his process and growth through his career. I have never been to a museum like it. It was interesting seeing all the steps and sketches before making certain pieces, the only disappointment was that there was a lot of pieces like sketches that were building up to a final piece and then the final piece would not be there.

A very interesting museum, if you want to learn more about the artist, this is the place ! I loved when they told us about Matisse's travels that inspired his art.

Beautiful museum dedicated to Henri Matisse and many of his major works are housed here in his beloved Nice.

Cute museum

(Translated by Google) The artist's masterpieces are obviously not to be found here. And what little is exposed is from his time at the end of his life. (Original) Las obras maestras del artista, evidentemente no se encuentran aquí. Y lo poco que se expone es de su época al final de su vida.

Amazing place, but I thought his more famous paintings would be there aswell.

An inspiration. Beautiful building & gardens. Thank you Matisse 💕

I was hoping to see the wonderful pictures of Matisse! But i did not. Its a whole museum dedecated to Matisse with only a few scratches. There is a little bit to read about his life and him at young age at the permanent exhibition but sadly only in French and English. Rest of the museum is only in French. 10€ is totally overpriced!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful museum! (Original) Superbe musée !

(Translated by Google) I just found out, I'll share my point of view with you later 😏but one thing I know is that I love Matisse masterpieces ♥ ️l interior is rich in expression wowwowwow too strong (Original) Je viens de découvrir, je vous partage mon point de vue plutard 😏but one thing I know is that I love Matisse chefs dœuvres ♥️l intérieur est riche en expression wowwowwow trop fort

(Translated by Google) A disappointment, I would have liked more familiar work. More sculpture than painting. Don’t expect the best known works. He explains the relationship with Nice, his stays, how he worked, ... (Original) Una decepció, m'hauria agradat més obra coneguda. Més escultura que pintura. No espereu les obres més conegudes.

(Translated by Google) very rewarding. good visit (Original) très enrichissant. bonne visite

(Translated by Google) No emblematic works of Matisse, very few works in general, more essays (drawings, sculptures ...). € 10 entry is overpriced for this kind of content. Disappointed. (Original) Pas d'oeuvres emblématiques de Matisse, très peu d'oeuvres en général, plus des essais (dessins, sculptures...). 10€ l'entrée c'est hors de prix pour ce genre de contenu. Déçue.

Covid hygiene measures well respected but we feel watched and unwelcome by the supervisors (Original) Super musée bien concu et instructif. Mesures d'hygiène covid bien respectées mais on se sent surveillés et mal accueillis par les surveillants

Maybe good if you can read French.... All signs in French and the english audio app did not work. Don't visit.

(Translated by Google) Superb museum, it was a pleasant visit for us :) (Original) Superbe musée, ce fut une agréable visite pour nous :)

(Translated by Google) Taking advantage of the heritage days I wanted to see the work of this artist whom I did not know well. Unfortunately I had to leave the museum because suffocating under my mask I lowered it slightly under my nose to be able to breathe. But a security guard coming in the opposite direction kindly made me understand that I should either not go to places like this if I couldn't stand the mask or keep it on my nose. Thanks for the moral lesson. I understood that from now on I must not leave my home as my respiratory failure makes me suffocate under the mask. Note that as soon as visitors entered without passing their hands to the hydroalcoholic gel available at the entrance and used the ramps and other furniture extensively. (Original) Profitant des journées du patrimoine j'ai voulu voir le travail de cet artiste que je ne connaissais pas bien. Malheureusement j'ai du sortir du musée car étouffant sous mon masque j'ai légèrement baissé celui-ci sous mon nez pour pouvoir respirer. Mais un agent de sécurité qui arrivait en sens inverse m'a gentiment ment fait comprendre que je devais soit ne pas aller dans des lieux comme celui-ci si je ne supportais pas le masque soit le garder sur mon nez. Merci pour la leçon de morale. J'ai bien compris que désormais je ne dois plus sortir de chez moi attendu que mon insuffisance respiratoire me fait étouffer sous le masque. À noter que dès visiteurs entraient sans se passer le mains au gel hydroalcoolique à disposition à l'entrée et se servaient abondamment des rampes et autres mobiliers.

(Translated by Google) Presentation in the gardens of the artist's life, presented by a very talented actor, a must see. (Original) Présentation dans les jardins de la vie de l'artiste, présenté par un acteur de grand talent, à voir absolument.

(Translated by Google) I'm a big fan of Matisse, so it was wonderful in itself to be in a museum dedicated to his works. However, there are not that many of them and I found it quite difficult to get there from inner Nice. The museum is located in beautiful surroundings and it is worth going for a walk here before or after the visit. (Original) Jeg er stor fan af Matisse, så det var i sig selv skønt at være på et museum dedikeret til hans værker. Dog er der ikke så mange af dem, og jeg oplevede det ret svært at komme dertil fra indre Nice. Museet ligger i flotte omgivelser, og det er værd at gå en tur her før eller efter besøget.

Nice

(Translated by Google) I really like this museum and wanted to visit it again but it is closed until October 9th. I took the opportunity to rediscover the olive grove in the Cimiez arena garden, adjoining the museum, which is magnificent with all its hundred-year-old trees! There is a small refreshment bar where the sweet and savory chard tarts are not bad at all! The monastery not being far away I rediscovered it with its rose garden where there were still some beautiful roses! From the garden you can see the Mont Boron hill and the sea (Original) J'aime beaucoup ce musée et voulais le revisiter mais il est fermé jusqu'au 9 octobre . J'en ai profité pour redécouvrir l'oliveraie du jardin des arènes de Cimiez, attenant au musée, qui est magnifique avec tous ses arbres centenaires! Il y a une petite buvette où les tartes aux blettes sucrées et salées ne sont pas mauvaises du tout! Le monastère n'étant pas loin je l'ai redécouvert avec sa roseraie où il y avait encore quelques belles roses! Du jardin on peut voir la colline du Mont Boron et la mer
