点评:An exquisite villa overlooking the Promenade des Anglais (& the Med!) Once a residence of the Nice nobility - the Massena d'Essling family...sold to Nice by Andre Massena stipulating that it should be a museum. Some rooms are recreated giving a sense of the musee as a home and venue, there are two staggering murals at the top of the grand staircase showing the members of the Massena family too.
There are lots of Napoleon artifacts including a death mask created by British surgeon Archibald Arnott. Really, the museum is a treasure trove, I loved the 'Nice, my city, my gardens' exhibition showcasing the iconic plants, gardens and parks of the city. Loved the photos, art & maps showing the development of Nice as a resort (and the importance of the Brits!) and was particularly interested in La jetee promenade, the amazing (demolished) belle epoque pier...great model and another made of Lego!
Everything in French, rather standoffish staff, ticket office in a separate building in the Rue de France, usually 10 euros entrance but for some reason I got a free ticket...just took it, didn't ask any questions!!! Would recommend this as a 'must visit' while in Nice.
翻译:一座精美的别墅,俯瞰着英国人散步道(以及地中海!)。这里曾是尼斯贵族——马塞纳·德埃斯林家族的居所……后来安德烈·马塞纳将其出售给尼斯市,并规定此处应设为博物馆。馆内部分房间按原貌复原,让人感受到这座博物馆既像住宅又像文化场所的氛围。在宏伟的楼梯顶端还有两幅令人叹为观止的壁画,描绘了马塞纳家族的成员们。馆内陈列着大量拿破仑的遗物,其中包括由英国外科医生阿奇博尔德·阿诺特制作的拿破仑死亡面具。说真的,这座博物馆简直就是一座宝库!我特别喜欢“尼斯,我的城市,我的花园”展览,它展示了这座城市中那些极具标志性的植物、花园与公园。那些展现尼斯逐渐发展为度假胜地的照片、艺术品和地图也令我着迷(同时也体现了英国人的重要性!)。此外,我还对拉杰蒂步行道以及那个极为壮观却已被拆除的“美好时代”风格的码头产生了浓厚兴趣……很棒的模型展示,还有一个用乐高拼成的模型!
所有说明都是法文,工作人员有些冷淡。售票处设在法国街上的一座独立建筑里。通常门票价格为10欧元,但不知为何我得到了免费门票……我就直接接受了,也没多问什么!!!强烈推荐来尼斯游玩时一定要参观这里。
