Musée National Marc Chagall
Purpose-built museum around Chagall's 'Biblical Message' cycle.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
Widely the most rewarding museum in Nice — a luminous, purpose-built space holding the largest collection of Chagall's biblical paintings, plus stained glass and a mosaic pool.
Our read - 02
Compact and uncrowded; the only catch is it's a uphill walk or bus from the centre and you'll be done in under two hours.
