The Matisse Museum, Nice

Housed in a magnificent red building, this museum stands on Cimiez hill, close to the city''s Arenes (ancient amphitheatre) and Musee archeologique. Matisse lived in Cimiez from 1917 until his death in 1954. Paintings, drawings and some of his earliest works are on display, along with pieces that reveal his lesser-known talents as a sculptor. Several black and white photographs offer glimpses of the artist''s private life.
