Disappointing, the temporary exhibition was text on some walls and a few small images. The permanent exhibitions were more exciting but not the range of work I expected. I wouldn’t recommend paying or travelling to the museum.

I visited the museum with the intention to learn more about Matisse. The red villa is the main part of the museum where his biography and most of his paintings, drawings, sculptures and some personal belongings are presented. The first part right at the entrance is dedicated to temporary exhibitions, like the Tom Wesselmann's one I saw. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and it took me 2 hours and half to see and read everything, but it could be done much quicker. I should come back another time though, since the current exhibition had taken pretty much half of the museum's space, I was left wanting to see more of Matisse himself. I'm glad I managed at least to see one of his famous Blue Nudes. The museum's shop was also very nice. The villa is very pretty on the outside too and the gardens around are great for a walk or picnic.

The Matisse Museum is somewhat average, but it's worth a visit for art enthusiasts. I highly recommend purchasing a combination ticket. The park where it is located is also nice, and there is a parking lot nearby for visitors to use.

I really loved the Matisse museum. It’s in a great area and the content was pieced together in a way that allowed me to ponder who Matisse was as a man. I wished there was more, but maybe I’m glad there wasn’t as I’ll know go out and look for more info on my own. Great deal to buy the Nice museum pass.

Apparently, it was Hockney-Matisse. The artworks were 35% Matisse's and 65% Hockney's. It's not worth the 10€ the adults have to pay. So if you are looking for Matisse, you won't find him there. Also, it's far away from civilization, so you better take the bus or the train.
