We went to the Matisse museum this morning in Cimiez, Nice. We saw many paintings and sculptures. The building is right next to a Roman building ruin so we really saw two attractions. After the museum, we went to Franciscan Monastery of Nice to see paintings from 1475 and 1514. The ceiling is also painted with frescoes. Outside the Monastery is a cemetery which has the grave of Matisse and his wife. There were many ancient tombs there.

After this, we walked downhill to the Marc Chagall museum. We saw many paintings of his interpretation of the Old Testament. He has three stained glass windows in the auditorium and a huge wall mosaic outside the museum. We had lunch at an outdoor café on the premises, took a taxi back to the hotel and relaxed. With as many art museums as we have seen on our trip, we should either become Artists or Art Critics. These museums were great.
