    This small free museum is a real gem which deserves more visitors! The building itself is very interesting in a beautiful location overlooking a pond on the edge of Phoenix Park. There are some really great exhibits and beautiful objects from multiple Asian countries and we particularly enjoyed the current exhibition on Japanese street performers which has some wonderful, colourful and detailed paintings and great information boards. It's well worth the short trip out from the centre of Nice!

    Amazing free museum it is very small only 20 to 30 minutes to go around over 3 floors. Well worth it if you are in the area. Only down side the descriptions are only in French no other translations. It is worth spending time here combined with the garden and park.
