    Absolutely worth a visit! A wonderful location in Cimiez, a district of Nice.It's a awesome art gallery.A very diverse artwork of Matisse in the house where he lived some years at the end of his live!

    The collection is modest. However, Cimiez itself is a worthwhile trip. Don't miss the monastery gardens for a fantastic view of Nice. Adjacent to the monastery is this cemetery where Matisse is buried

    The collection is forgettable, but don't miss the Archaeology Museum next door with the Roman ruins, as well as the monastery through the park, which has a fantastic view from its gardens.

    On top of a hill, this museum is located in a nice and typical French Riviera mansion overlooking Nice! Admission is free for students and on the first Sunday of every month so check it out!

    Great museum for an insight into how matisse created and produced his works. Ignore the other user who says its rubbish. its quite worth the 1.50 euro bus ride up. Free entry.

    I liked it. It might not be as big as Chagall's, but it gives a good idea of Matisse life and works.

    This is dedicated to the French artist Henry Matisse. Aside from his works, you'll also find art by Auguste Herbin and Geneviève Claisse. Also don't miss the Henri Cartier-Bresson collection.

    Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year (2013), check out the 'Un Été pour Matisse' exhibitions happening throughout Nice until September 2013. Read more

    If you have a choice between the Matisse Museum and Marc Chagall Museum - go to Chagall. I found the Matisse museum a bit boring with almost no famous works. Felt like it was ransacked :-(

    It has a lot of his sketches and simpler, smaller, and earlier works. It's free, so if you're in the area it's a must. Plus the garden outside is beautiful.

    Visited this afternoon and enjoyed it but be prepared for a minimal exhibition on Matisse's works. Would have liked to see more but gues you have to go further afield to do so

    The art is quite specific - mostly Matisse's admirers would appreciate. Traveling by bus, make sure you are not late, which means well before 18:00. You'll struggle to catch the bus after that.

    Really disappointing compared to the Matisse exhibition in Het Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

    Dans une villa génoise du XVIIème, entièrement rénovée, au coeur de l’oliveraie des jardins de Cimiez, ce musée monographique permet de suivre l'évolution artistique du peintre, tombé amoureux de Nice Read more

    Obwohl das Museum in den Reiseführern hoch gelobt wird, kann man sich das meiner Meinung nach schenken. Es sind kaum Ausstellungsstücke von Matisse zu sehen. Anreise hat sich nicht gelohnt...

    Musée gratuit qui se fait en deux heures dans une belle villa . Tout dépend de la quantité d'oeuvre de Matisse en tournée mondiale. Accessible via le jardin des arènes et sur l'avenue des arènes

    Матисс жил в Ницце последние 37 лет своей жизни. В музее есть постоянная и временные экспозиции. Добираться довольно утомительно, если пешком и в жару. Зато вход почему-то бесплатный.

    Pochi lavori del Matisse maturo e molti bozzetti. Museo vecchio e con guardiani poco amichevoli. No foto.
