You start by thinking he’s no good at faces, then that he can’t draw hands and finally conclude, he’s not really any good at anything, but happily taking people along for the ride. Try the fine art...

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.

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.
