A municipal museum, Musée Matisse is dedicated to the french painter, Henri Matisse. It compiles one of the largest collections of his works, tracing his artistic development from his earliest to his most recent creations.
The museum is housed in Villa des Arènes, a 17th-century villa. The museum's permanent collection consists of a range of donations, the majority of which is contributed by Matisse himself, who lived and worked in Nice from 1917 to 1954, his heirs, and the state government. In addition, the museum exhibits 187 of Matisse's personal items, along with 68 paintings, 236 sketches, 218 prints, 95 pictures, 57 sculptures, 14 books with illustrations, tapestries, and stained glass.
