Removed from Unnamed collection

Nestled in the heart of Nice, the National Marc Chagall Museum is a testament to the artist's vision, fulfilling his dream of showcasing his most significant biblical works in a dedicated space. Here, you'll find the "Biblical Message," a stunning series of 17 paintings that bring these ancient narratives to life. It's not just any collection; it's the largest public assembly of Chagall's creations, centered around the profound themes of the Old Testament.

As you wander through the museum, you'll encounter over 400 pieces, including paintings, gouaches, drawings, wash drawings, and pastels. The first room greets you with twelve impressive large-scale paintings that vividly depict stories from Genesis and Exodus. Moving into a more intimate hexagonal room, you're treated to five compositions inspired by the poetic and romantic Song of Songs.

To enhance your visit, audio guides are available in a variety of languages, including French, English, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish. This ensures you don't miss a single detail of Chagall's rich storytelling. While you're in Nice, take a moment to explore the surrounding area. The museum is located near the charming Cimiez neighborhood, known for its Roman ruins and beautiful gardens. It's the perfect spot to relax and reflect on the vibrant history and culture of this picturesque city.
