When it comes to culture in France, only Paris boasts more museums and galleries; and, in Nice, all but one of the 20 are free. Topping the bill is the Musée Matisse. Rather than a collection of greatest hits, this follows the artist's development, from his first dull oil of 1890 to the dramatic sketches for a chapel some 60 years later.
DID YOU KNOW?
In 1887, the French author Stéphen Liégeard published a book called La Côte d'Azur and the name stuck!
Nice's other museums range from fine arts and photography to naive art and Asian treasures. But not all the art is indoors. Impossible to miss is the installation by Jaume Plensa on the revamped Place Masséna, the main square. After dark, the seven mysterious android figures, each perched on a steel pole, slowly change colour.
