Lonely Planet review for Musée Masséna

Housed in a marvellous Italianate neoclassical villa (1898), this museum explores the city and Riviera’s history from the early 19th century to WWII. It’s a fascinating journey, with a roll call of monarchs, a succession of nationalities (British, Russians, Americans), the advent of tourism, the prominence of the carnival and much more. History is told through an excellent mix of furniture, objects, art deco posters, early photographs and paintings and the lovely setting – the city of Nice still uses the ground floor rooms for official occasions.
