Musee des Beaux-Arts de Nice
What the experts agree on
Housed in a stunning 1878 Italianate palace, this museum pairs European masterworks from the 17th-20th centuries with one of the French Riviera's most breathtaking interiors, including a legendary grand staircase.
“The building itself is a work of art, but the real treasures are to be found within.”
