Near the Promenade des Anglais, villa Masséna retains the decor of a Belle Époque palace. Its collections tell the story of Nice and the Côte d’Azur from the 18th century to the early 20th century. Explore the rooms to discover objects and images that shed light on this period, then enjoy the villa’s garden. Temporary exhibitions offer other perspectives on the history of Nice.
