A fantastic exhibit of Chagall's most important Biblical pieces. It was well worth the 20 minute hunt for parking in the adjacent neighborhood (at 1000 on Monday).

Interesting, but not sure I would do that again. The best part was just getting to see more of Nice away from old town and to ride the bus (which were packed).

This was my second visit to the Museum. The works are truly beautiful and cannot be properly appreciated in photographs. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the works of an artist displayed as he intended them. The film on Chagall that is running continuously gives great insight into an amazing man. The stained glass windows in the theatre are... More

The museum houses the later works of Chagall. I prefer his earlier work so I wasn't so enamored by the art. The museum is spacious and serene. We watched the DVD presentation about the life Chagall and found that to be the most interesting. The stained glass windows in the auditorium are abstract and beautiful.

set in pleasant gardens, helpful staff but the film about Chagall's life runs at specific times in English (12 & 2) & in French so I couldn't wait around to watch it. The main room houses paintings from his American period and they are all very religious. Unfortunately I could take advantage of the audio guide as you need to... More

Wow! Not many paintings but lovely art that you must experience in this beautiful museum. We visited on a Sunday and it was free. Recommend taking a bus since it is at least a 30 minute hike up hill to reach.

It was very nice to see these big paintings with all the colors that Chagall used in his work. Even if one appreciate his circus motives best, the items from the Bible are really impressing. It is worthwhile taking the time to visit this museum. On your way there you have the possibility to see Nice city from an overlooking... More

It is well worth a visit to see this museum. Although only 3 of the 5 rooms were available for us to view, it was still wonderful. The gallery does charge a nominal fee, but does include a device that explains, in several languages, the piece of work you're looking at. You provide the museum with a piece of picture... More

This museum provides a fascinating perspective to the art of Chagall. The building is situated in pretty grounds and the cafe is pleasant. The works of Chagall are fine examples.Large luminous works based on the stories from the Old Testament charm the viewer and unlike many French galleries and museums a real effort has been made to make these accessible...
