★★★★★7 months agoMust visit place in Nice.the day I was there the tickets were for free anyway it’s not huge museum but still worse to visit.the art there worth your attention. The interior is amazing, from one room you’ll have a big glass so you can see the outdoor Design, which is amazing. They also have a few bunches inside so you can relax nice café outside of museum but inside of the park.

★★★★★7 months agoMust go place in Nice. I was so impressed to the collection. good explanations for his art work, specially biblical themed arts !!! And very thanks to the kind staffs. One of the staff members knew that I wanted to take a photo in front of a particular painting but couldn’t because it was too crowded. When it became less busy, they even came to find me. I was truly grateful. They explained the stories behind all the paintings so well, and the way the rooms, the building, and everything else were arranged helped me understand Chagall’s works much better. I love love it 💕 you must visit this place if you are art lover and love Chagall’s art..
