A smart museum in a old palace. A collection of musical instruments and furniture from the golden ages of Nice. Loved the stairs, rooms and the queen bed :) Free entry.

Stuck in the middle of the old town, it's quite hard to find but it is worth it. Properly restored with original items, it's a wonder to see and walk around.

Wasn't too hard to find because there was a lot of signs. There were some interresting items inside, although it wasn't that big. It's nice if you're interrested in music, since there's a lot of old instruments.

Tucked away in one of the main streets (Small) in the old town this very small "palace" should be visited. might not take long but it is free and fascinating - just go into the entrance and look at the stone staircase going up to the main rooms of the house - really is only one floor (The 2nd -...

Free entry and when I went they had the "Le Clavier Vivant" (or "The Living Keyboard") exhibition on and it was superb. I stumbled across it by accident and it is a hidden gem: the building is excellent. It is very close to the sea/beach and selection of excellent seafood restaurants.

Great place to visit (but limited opening times - check first). Lovely atmospheric palace with some interesting exhibits of old furniture, painting, tapestries in their original settings. Also a great collection of old musical instruments. Small but perfectly formed, and free.

Fascinating little museum in the Old Town. you don't need long to look around this one. Love the ceiling and a must if you're interested in old instruments.
