Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nice — Attraction in Nice

It supposed to have handicap access in the bottom floor. The guard lets you in from a back door. On the way to the door (which by the way does not have a ramp) there are tree roots that completely lifted the pavement. You literally have to carry up ghe wheelchair to pass. The temporary exhibits where great but on the second floor which is not accesible at all with a wheelchair. The two ladies at the counter were very rude. They made a mistake with the charges and wanted to blame me for it. The guard on the other hand was very cordial and very helpful. He even help me lift my dad's wheelchair over the step to be able to enter and exit the museum as well as over the roots on the pavement. It is amazing that such place does not have handicap access. It the tour guides it says it does to the bottom floor but it is not the case. My dad is very light. If he were a little heavier it would have been impossible to...

The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nice is housed in a beautiful old building, but it's clearly due for renovation. Cracked walls and partially painted over murals distract from the experience and reveal the space’s age more than its charm.

The curation was disappointing. Loud, dramatic music plays as you enter, which makes it hard to engage with the art in a personal way. Artifacts were placed oddly, sometimes above paintings or attached to sculptures, which felt unnecessary and took away from the works' integrity.

The staff were excellent and welcoming, no complaints there. But overall, the museum felt poorly curated, raising questions about whether it was done by a professional.

Some artworks are worth a look, but they’re few and far between. Unless you have the €15 museum pass, this museum is skippable given what else Nice...

Beautiful Nice, as mentioned, has attracted many artists throughout history, so surely one of the best places to start a tour of Nice is at the city's art museum. The museum is housed within a royal renaissance estate of 1888 with a renaissance design, so the structure is in itself impressive. As you walk in, take note of the museum's high ceilings and stairs. The museum's permanent exhibition includes European works from the 16th to 20th centuries and demonstrates to us the development of European art throughout that period. Among other things, you can see the museum's spectacular works by Monet, Picasso, Van Lo and Sisley.
