This free-to-enter gallery has rapidly become one of my favourite hidden treasures in Nice. It is a small gallery and conference venue, a couple of blocks away from the Nice Etoile shopping centre. It’s not really hidden, but it is little-known. It displays art by the Niçois artists Arman, Ben and César, and others. A unique work displaying giant mock insects is especially fun. The whole thing is enjoyable so long as you are happy with modern art, though there are some classically wonderful paintings – see a few photos illustrating the range of kinds of object. Several of the artworks seem to be from the "this concept made be laugh" school. Labels (in French) allow you to work out who made what for most – but definitely not all – of the works on display. In other words, the curation is like in every other French museum I’ve experienced: “could easily be better”. Refreshingly, there is no gift shop or catering; it really is that small. Most visitors will find one hour is enough to see all the displays. It is housed in a beautiful Art Deco building originally erected for a group of artists (hence its name). worth seeing, inside and out (don’t forget to peep into the conference room). Annoyingly, it is closed in August. I’ve always found the staff friendly and welcoming.

A little gem in Nice, with some bright, humourous and alternative art works that won't be found in some of the stuffier classics museums.

What a fun and quirky little museum! It's quick to visit, charming, and it's free! If you're a fan of contemporary art and some dadaism tickles your funny bone, I strongly recommend a visit. All descriptions (which are worth a read) are solely in French so if you don't speak it, make sure you have your phone handy to translate.

Interesting exhibit that we got to view with some really crazy drawings that were fun for the mind.

Lady at the reception is so nice! We liked it inside, really cool!

It was a really great experience thank you very much

Avant d'entrer dans la galerie, il faut prendre le temps d'admirer la sublime architecture qui l'abrite. De style éclectique L'imposante bâtisse d'un doux orange pastel, à l'origine villa signée Louis Dunski s'est vue surélevée de plusieurs niveaux par l'architecte René Liviers. L'angle de la rue Alberti en offre une vue spectaculaire. Devant le portail de la galerie, on remarque aussi l'originalité de la colonne qui dessert la cage d'escalier. L'entrée est gratuite, les expositions de style contemporain valent pourtant la visite. L'intérieur est d'époque. les portes, boiseries et ornements aux plafonds sont d'époque et particulièrement remarquables. Un lieu à voir et à revoir.

Centro culturale situato in centro a Nizza, dove vengono organizzati dibattiti e incontri con gli autori. Si può visitare una mostra permanente. Da vedere.
