With kids, it depends on the day.
An intimate, manageable museum tracing Matisse's decades in Nice, set in a gorgeous ochre villa surrounded by ancient olive trees and Roman ruins — the setting is half the visit. The honest catch: the collection is uneven, strong on the cut-outs, paper work and his late period but light on the famous canvases, so it rewards Matisse devotees far more than a casual drop-in, and it's a hill bus-ride out for what's a fairly short stop.
