Museums in Nice: Beaux Artes

Le Musee des Beaux Artes is situated in Magnan, west part of the town, just a few minutes from the seaside and the law college (Campus Trotabas). Easily accessible by whole bunch of busses (bus stop: Rosa Bonheur or Grosso Cum). How is it like?
Well, as I've already mentioned, Nice isn't well known from its museums. I kind of agree with that, but then, on the other hand... The building itself is very interesting and it reminds me of Woody Allen's last film- 'Magic in Moonlight'. It has this meditteranean charm of French Riviera.



There are only two flors and the whol tour took me about 40 minutes. The museum is quite small, which doesn't make the visit too long and boring. I think about 45 minutes is perfectly enough time to accually see everything and spend time with our favourite pices, no need to rush in order to see everythin like in The British Museum, for instance.



Because the museum is so small, the amount of the information is just perfect and during the visit I found my two new favourite artists: Moise Kisling and Jules-Henri Lengrand. Some of their works that are in the museum; they obviously are more impressing live than on bad quality photos. In general, I think Le Musee des Beaux Artes is a nice way to rest from beach and sun in Nice.
