Nice has nothing to envy of Paris when it comes to art and exhibitions. With 12 museums and art galleries dedicated to an artist, photography, sport or archaeology, Nice offers a cultural experience rich in discoveries. And that’s without counting the number of works of art installed in the city, making Nice an open-air museum. During the summer season, a rich program has been designed to allow residents of Nice and vacationers to discover Nice otherwise. Here is a selection of 5 exhibitions not to be missed.

At the Lympia space
Until June 30, 2024, the Hergé Museum in Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium is joining forces with the Lympia space, located at the Port of Nice, to unveil in a double exhibition entitled Tintin, Hergé and Chang the multiple facets of the father of Tintin through a magnificent selection of precious documents, original drawings and objects. These are presented for the first time on the Côte d’Azur.

At the National Sports Museum
Until September 22, 2024, the National Sports Museum, easily accessible by tram from the center of Nice, is offering an immersive and interactive exhibition linked to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Called Les Elles des Jeux, the exhibition retraces more than 130 years of our contemporary society through the stories of emblematic women with exemplary destinies.

From June 7 to September 29, 2024, the Jules Cheret Museum of Fine Arts is offering an event exhibition called “Berthe Morisot in Nice, Impressionist Stopovers”. Designed as part of the territorial operation of the Musée d’Orsay “150 years of impressionism” in partnership with the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, this retrospective evokes the painter’s two stays on the Riviera during the winters of 1881-1882 and 1888-1889.

At the Terra Amata Museum
From June 21 to September 22, 2024, the Terra Amata Prehistory Museum invites you to discover “tools, between art and science” through an exhibition, halfway between art and science. This therefore invites us to take a new look at the collections of tools discovered on the Terra Amata site in 1966.

At the Matisse Museum
From June 28 until September 29, 2024, the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona and the Matisse Museum in Nice, accessible by bus from the center of Nice, are joining forces to organize an exhibition dedicated to the relationships between the works of Henri Matisse and Joan Miró: “MiróMatisse. Beyond the images.” The garden of the Matisse museum is also worth a detour.
