It is a hidden jewel! We loved it! The museum has an impressive collection of baroque instruments and it is beautiful. It costs 5€ for adults and kids can go in for free. We spent a nice time looking at all the impressive details in the walls and the instruments were just amazing!

Walked past this a few times until read a brochure on it then tracked if down. Don’t pass it up. It worth the visit. It’s not overly large but has a some great art work. And many musical instruments.

Musée du Palais Lascaris or Palais Lascaris as it more often referred to in Nice, South France (available to visit free on the Nice Museum card). What a building - quite a little gem, with an amazing temporary exhibition on display when I visited. Also known for it's display of musical instruments and some great paintings, even a tapestry if you are a fan. Well worth finding in the heart of Old Nice, if you are visiting the Square and/or markets and want out of the heat! It closes over lunch though, and many museums are shut Mondays.

Very beautiful place with an interesting exposition and a unique collection.

The museum is hosted in a villa owned by royal family of Savoy. It is now dedicated to 17-18 century musical instruments. Some of them look amazing, like masterpieces of art. We feel that adding speakers with the original sounds of these Baroque instruments would have improved a lot our interest and attention.

The palace is in the heart of the old town in Nice. It’s elegant but not majestic. Rooms are actually normal, it has the feeling of a private house rather than the typical grandiose palace. Ticket is €10, perhaps too much for what you can see. Not all the floor are accessible, the last one or two are offices. The rest of the house is a music museum, quite interesting but probably for the majority just a curiosity. The ticket gives you access to other museums but not all, so double check with the ticket office. If you’re not the kind of person reading all the descriptions on every single piece displayed, you will be probably out in 30 minutes or so.

It was an interesting place. We got in for free because we were students with ID, so I can't speak to if it's worth the price. There were entertaining things to see related to music.

(Translated by Google) Staff at the HORRIBLE welcome! Real THIEF! THEY ASKED TO PAY A FULL RATE TICKET FOR A DISABLED AND A BABY !!!! We are a family of 5 with a baby and a disabled person. So I asked for a reduction and I showed the disabled card, the person was reluctant because they needed a disability card! She finally agreed and called another person as well. The latter asked if the disabled person was receiving a pension (that does not concern them normally!) And if he had more than 80% of handicap. As it was and wrote on the paper, this last person finally said that the card was not valid because it was not written "invalid" !! She asked for 100 € for the 5 people and therefore asked for the full price for the disabled and even the 15 month old baby! I then ran away seeing such nastiness and being walked around for 15 minutes by these people. So I did not visit any museum in Nice because I wanted to take a 20 € card for the 11 museums but seeing that the disabled person and the baby did not have a reduction, I preferred to keep my money !!!! (Original) Personnel à l'accueille HORRIBLE ! De vrais VOLLEUR ! ILS ONT DEMANDE DE PAYER UN BILLET PLEIN TARIF POUR UN HANDICAPE ET UN BEBE !!!! Nous sommes une famille de 5 personnes avec un bébé et un handicapé. J'ai demandé donc une réduction et j'ai montré la carte d'handicapé, la personne a rechigné car il fallait une carte d’invalidité ! Elle a finalement accepté et a aussi appelé une autre personne. Cette dernière a demandé si la personne handicapée touchait une pension (cela ne les regarde pas normalement !) et s'il avait plus de 80% d'handicape. Comme c'était le cas et écrit sur le papier, cette dernière personne a finalement dit que la carte n'était pas valide car ce n'était pas écrit "invalide"!! Elle a demandé 100 € pour les 5 personnes et donc demandé le plein tarif pour l’handicapé et même le bébé de 15 mois ! Je me suis alors enfui en voyant une telle méchanceté et de me faire balader pendant 15 minutes par ces personnes. Je n'ai donc visité aucun musée à Nice car je voulais prendre une carte à 20€ pour les 11 musées mais voyant que la personne handicapée et le bébé n'avait pas de réduction, j'ai préféré garder mes sous !!!!

This was a true hidden gem. If you have even 30 mins to come by and check this place out it’s worth it. You get to learn the history of this important family in Nice. Also you get to see one of the very few houses kept up so nicely. Also a collection of older musical instruments and temporary art exhibitions as well.

Big mansion hidden in a narrow street. Well preserved. Features loads of 17th century tapestries and a bequest of musical instruments, but you also just enjoy the building and interiors. Good deal: the 10 euro entrance ticket is valid for 24 hours in a handful of other museums in Nice.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful as well as the whole old town (Original) Magnifique ainsi que toute la vieille ville

nice place to spend an hour. very nice building hidden between the other. worth the visit

(Translated by Google) Permanent collection worth visiting and a must-see palace for those interested in the history of Nice (Original) Collection permanente qui vaut le détour et palais incontournable pour ceux qui s intéressent à l histoire de Nice

(Translated by Google) Very nice mansion. To visit. (Original) Très joli hôtel particulier. A visiter.

(Translated by Google) It's ok but nothing extraordinary (Original) Ça va mais rien d'extraordinaire

(Translated by Google) Everything is so beautiful, interesting, because this is a classic of the genre, the history of France and, in general, the whole of Europe! I advise everyone to go there. But the pool in Massena park, no, it is paid -30 € for the 1st child per week! The water is not sea water, coaches and lifeguards are right in the pool :)! (Original) Всё так красиво, интересно, ведь это классика жанра, история Франции и вообще, всей Европы! Всем советую туда сходить. А вот бассейн в парке Массены, нет, он платный -30€ за 1-ого ребёнка за неделю! Вода не морская, тренеры и спасатели прямо в бассейне :)!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful baroque palace located on the right street, the main axis of the period. The place has kept all its charm of yesteryear and is steeped in history. Pleasant to visit because it is well supplied and not very long to visit. The rooms of the portraits of the main characters of the time of Louis XV and Louis XVI are very beautiful. The various period instruments are well preserved. The 3rd floor is impressive to see. A must have to do in Nice. (Original) Très beau palais baroque situé sur la rue droite, axe principale d'époque. Le lieu a gardé tout son charme d'antan et est chargé d'histoire. Agréable à visiter car il est bien fourni et pas très long à visiter. Les salles des portraits des principaux personnages de l'époque de Louis XV et Louis XVI sont très belles. Les différents instruments d'époques sont bien conservés. Le 3eme étage est impressionnant à voir. Un must have à faire sur Nice.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful choice and special exhibitions (Original) Beau choisi et expos particulieres

Very interesting collection of portraits and musical instruments, but in a beautiful palace you wouldn't have noticed passing along rue Droit.

(Translated by Google) Few people, nice collection, measures respected (Original) Peu de monde, belle collection, mesures respectées

If you like old music instruments (1700s string instruments and harpsichords, pianofortes and similar). I highly recommend it, it's free for minors (and students too I think), so why not check it out? It also has a bunch of portraits and some other items

(Translated by Google) Museum with lavish furnishings and a large collection of musical instruments. Most captions are also in English (Original) Museum met een overdadige inrichting en een grote collectie muziekinstrumenten . De meeste bijschriften zijn ook in het Engels

Fantastic palace with great architecture. It located in od city. Amazing collection of musical instruments

Nice little museum! Lovely portraits. Ask for a guide at the desk and they'll give you a laminated card in English to read. Probably takes about 20 - 45 mins to get around depending on your interest in portraits of 18th century French people

Beautiful palace, with a wide variety of traditional music instruments, interesting if you're into that.

The museum is two fold : a historical building with its decorations and the collection of musical instruments. Small but impressive.

What a cool old home turned amazing contemporary art showspace with a permanent collection of historical instruments. Absolutely worth a stop if you're a musician or just love old, beautiful buidings.

Great museum with cool instruments and beautiful decor! A big plus was that is wasn’t very busy despite being in the center of old Nice. Getting the $15 pass lasts 72 hours and let’s you visit all the museums in Nice, which I would recommend.

Loved this quiet, hidden, small museum in the old part of Nice. Only 5€ pp and you spend 1.5h inside. If you are a fan of the baroque period, it will make you happy... (just a little tip for the museum: play baroque music in the rooms to give it just that extra cachet :)

Nice exhibition about old musics instruments, The palais is authentic in Baroque style. Beautiful

Worth a 15-20 minute visit. Honestly, the best view is from just outside the entrance. But, there is an interesting collection of musical instruments, and the building itself has some character.

On display in this museum was a range of baroque style musical instruments that were so unique I had yet to encounter in other museums in france. The palais wasn’t as well maintained as the bigger museums, but it only added to the charm of the place.

The Museum was created in 1963 in the baroque ex residence of Lascaris-Vintimille family: it contains a prestigious collection of antique musical instruments, the second largest in France, and some richly decorated rooms on the piano nobile. The ticket is included in the 15€ Nice Museum Pass.

Would recommend getting a €15 euro ticket which gives you access to about 10 other museums in Nice within 96 hrs - absolute bargain!

Beautiful house with a large collection of old musical instruments dating from the 17th century, inc this piano harp (one of only 3 in the world). €4 admission and really worth it. In centre of the old town near the Cathedral.

Located in the Old Town this museum is an absolute delight. It is so breathtaking that I have visited it twice. The Palais has been faithfully preserved and there are lots of interesting artifacts. There are information sheets in English and French. The staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend a visit if you are in Nice.

Stunning palace with amazing interiors that give you an idea of what it would be like to have lived in Nice if well off. I like old buildings so if that is your thing the palace is well worth visiting. It is also located in the old city so lovely location to explore anyway.

(Translated by Google) 10 € / pers for 15min of visit without guide or explanation. Too expensive, especially for a city museum. (Original) 10€/pers pour 15min de visite sans guide ni explication. Trop cher, surtout pour un musée de la ville.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful architecture and a lot of information about the collection of antique musical instruments. Would have asked for more about the history of the building.

Old musical instruments collection is superb.

Some fascinating old musical instruments on the top floor. Sadly the level of explanation was not up to the standards of other museums in Nice and the opportunities to add good audio experience not explored. The temporary exhibitions on other floors could also have been better curated.

Beautiful place in the heart of Nice, so peaceful if you want to have a lovely chilled time. There are loads of spectacular areas where to take photographs, there are waterfalls views of the harbour amazing great definitely worth a visit 👍

Very nice and rare musical instruments

Very beautiful exhibition they have. And with renaissance music playing in the background, it becomes a very peaceful experience to spend a few hours there. Visiting the museum is highly recommended

I went to three museums while visiting Nice and this was the only one I thoroughly enjoyed. Great art as well as beautiful instruments, it does help that I love music I guess.

The museum is located in a less traveled part of the old city of Nice. Once inside, the stairway sucks up all the attention. The extensive music instrument collection adds a bit extra to the palais but on its own wouldn't be worth the visit except for experts. The downside of the old building is that it has no real facilities for people with limited mobility. But in general it's a nice break from the busy centre and a nice museum.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place ! To visit if you pass by there ... little jewel to discover without delay, journey into the past assured, beautiful discovery ... Not far away, you will have the opportunity to visit and discover many things ... See photos. (Original) Magnifique endroit ! A visiter si vous passez par là... petit bijoux à découvrir sans tarder, voyage dans le passé assuré, belle découverte...

It is the best museum of Nice for me.If you re playing a musical instrument you would live it here.

A lovely museum in the heart of Nice about the 17/18th centuries. It shows a variety of musical instruments used at that time and a bit of the royal french family that lived there.

(Translated by Google) Is worth seeing (Original) Ist sehenswert

(Translated by Google) A very nice small museum in the cool, modest size, which offers exhibitions with paintings and sculptures of Nice artists, instruments dating back a few centuries (including the surprising piano harp, only 5 copies in the world!)

(Translated by Google) Very interesting for instrumentalists!

Concerts with the two regularly tuned instruments are usually held in one room. Definitely a special experience! (Original) Für Instrumentalisten sehr interessant! In diesem Palais kann man neben authentisch belassenen Räumen unterschiedlichste Musikinstrumente vom Serpent, über diverse Harfen, Streicher und Vertreter der Tastenfamilie besichtigen.
