There is a Matisse museum in Nice and it is located right next to the ruins of a Roman bath house. It took me two trips there to actually get inside, but it was well worth the effort. They had many of his works on display and the cutouts remain my favorites. But, it was also fun to see the actual chairs, rugs, and vases he enjoyed having in his paintings...particularly that wonderful low overstuffed chair. The museum was housed in an old Villa with the most incredible view of Nice. It looked like the city was a big bowl and the sea was about to come pouring in. Again, another photo that didn't work because of the sun. But, after so much darkness in Oslo, I would not complain about Nice sun.
