    Great collection of modern art. The current exhibition on post WW2 artists was lively and inspiring. Well done. Particularly enjoyed walking through the sculpture garden.

    Well, this place is pretty famous. Every 20th Century artist of note is represented but not all at once, usually there is exhibit, currently Riopelle until November 2023. Good place to bring young children, with garden and large open spaces. There is restaurant offering decent selection, expresso coffee especially good, and service excellent. I took the 400 bus from Vence then trekked up the hill, took about ten minutes. There is also plenty of parking. View of Mediterranean Sea, needless to say, spectacular.

    Very impressive collection of art by the most important artists of the 20th-century. Beautiful architecture and sculpture garden. A must visit in the area!

    Great architecture and space but the definitely not worth the entry price of €16 (students - €11). Permanent collection is in the garden and in one other room which takes 20 minutes and the temporary collection which is a bit bigger takes around 40 minutes. I understand it's a private museum but that doesn't mean you can charge exorbitantly for such a small collection. We came with high hopes but left disappointed.

    Not only a beautiful modern art collection. Masterpieces of Giacometti, Miro, Chagall. But also a unique marriage between monumental sculpture and nature, a fantastic natural frame for Miro and Giacometti statue.

    Substantial art collection displayed in an architecture stunning building set between towering pine trees, up in the hills behind St Paul de Vence. Even if you’re no into art, you can’t help not enjoying these bright and striking works of art. The building itself is very quirky, with gorgeous floors and vaulted ceilings and tons of daylight streaming in. The setting is beautiful with sculptures dotted around the gardens. There’s a cafe on site too, perfect spot to relax and catch your breath.

  • 5/5 Donna W. 1 year ago on Google
    Walking through art you have seen only in books or pictures. The park is lovely, then you enter the museum. A must see.

  • 3/5 Grace l. 1 year ago on Google
    Great collection except with a petite version. Not worth the ticket value: 16euro where in Nice could exchange a daily pass to all exhibitions.

  • 5/5 Elena L. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Julia W. 9 months ago on Google
    A small museum that stays in your memory for some time. We enjoyed our visit although we aren't big fans of modern art. The whole experience: the architecture of the museum, the selection of art, the garden, and the cafe take you on a trip of am experience. Highly recommended!

    The paintings inside were not really my thing but if you love sculptures and architecture; go to Fondation Maeght. Beautiful building, sculptures and garden.

  • 5/5 Jacob Robert C. 8 months ago on Google
    A superb little museum. There is a small shuttle bus that runs between Vence, Saint Paul, and the Foundation but check times!

  • 5/5 N H. 5 months ago on Google
