Museum

The history of the Nice Matisse Museum is closely linked to successive donations made by Matisse and his heirs, as well as to his deep attachment to Nice, the city in which he produced the largest part of his work. When the City of Nice acquired in 1950 the villa Garin de Cocconato, also called “Villa des Arènes” just a stone’s throw from the master’s residence at the Regina Hotel, the idea gained ground that it could be converted into an exhibition space for the donations made by the painter and his heir. On January 5 1963, the Matisse Museum was thus inaugurated in the presence of many personalities from the art world and the culture sector. The works were presented on the first floor of the villa, the ground floor being occupied at the time by the Archaeological Museum.
