Other reviewers sum up the constraints of this building being Matisse's home, not a fully-funded art gallery. Next door is a (for me) much more rewarding experience.Full review by stevec704

Such a disappointment. Only a couple Matisse paintings and a few stretches. I didn’t pay to see works of his student and read a biography that I could google. Not worth 10 eurosFull review by Sunshine39442043826

Very disappointing. Almost none of the many wonderful paintings of Matisse. Mainly drawings and written explanations of his career. 1 hour queuing, 30 mn sight. Bad experience.Full review by Palombebleue
Hello! I've read on the museum's website: "It is not possible to enter the museum with backpacks, suitcases, travel bags". Please: Anyone who went to the museum carrying a backpack (as many tourists do), what did you do with it?
A:
There are free lockers to use although I did see some people with small rucksacks but they had to wear them on their fronts.
About the Matisse Museum Nice. Some visitors say there is a cafe on the grounds, but other reviewers swear there is no cafe. Can anyone clear this up? Just where is the cafe? Does it have a name? Who runs it? Many thanks.
Is the museum still under construction? Are all his works on display? Which ones are not? I am staying at Regence hotel How do I get to Museum? What is admission? Is admission tied to Chagall museum as well? Is there a time to visit which is less busy on Friday? Thanks for your time. JK Florida

We visited in October 2016 and there was no construction at that time. We used on hop-on-hop-off bus which dropped us off at the entrance to the park in which the museum is situated. Can't remember whether there was a charge, but was well worth the visit
Is there a gift shop where I can buy posters or prints to take home? And is there a cafe?

Yes there is a lovely gift shop in the musee Matisse. However, as far as a cafe is concerned, you might be disapointed (French museum have not all understood all the money they could make in having a café inside, mostly because they are funded by the state or the city). Depending on your need for coffee and will to walk, your 5 choices are the following : 1) Go to the refreshment stall which is in the park around the roman arenas (not opened during the "cold months"), 2) Go to the Monoprix mini-mall which is 100 yards up the arenas in the rue de Flirey 3) Go to the nearest bar-café located on place Commandant Gerome (600 yards up the rue de Flirey) 4) (recommended) Go back down in the city where you'll find plenty (Cimiez is a residential area with scarce shops, and even less bar-cafés). 5) Get your own insulated coffee mug ;-) (may be the easier) Nevertheless the Musee Matisse is a really nice place to see and understand Matisse work evolution. In addition, you can visit the roman city ruins, the monastery's church and related garden (from which you have a wonderful point of view on the eastern part of Nice, the mountains and the sea. Enjoy your stay in Nice.
