Reviews
One of the most interesting museums in Nice: it has a small but high quality collection in ancient Oriental art, it is located in a beautiful modern building (with airco !), and has occasional exhibitions, which are sometimes truly spectacular, like the current world-class exhibition of jade art from the Myers Collection (untill September 19, 2021). And unbelievably it’s free !
Beautiful museum with wide collection of Asian art. All information is in French. Not too many people. Entrance 11,50 Euros.
Visit this beautiful museum, located inside a house, called Villa Jules Warren. The villa was purchased in 1905 by the wife of Michelle Warren, son of famous author Jules Warren. The son set up a film production company named after his father, and directed several films based on his books. The Nazis expropriated the house in 1942. After the war, Warren sold the house, which became a hotel and restaurant. In the 1970s, the place became an Asian Art Museum in Toulon, where you can see art exhibits from China, Japan, India, Mongolia and Tibet. Opening hours: Tuesdays to Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m. How long should you visit? Between half an hour and an hour.
