Nice has 19 museums and galleries which is not so bad for a seaside city more known as a resort than a cultural centre. Admission is free to all museums in Nice except the Chagall museum. Bear in mind that all explanatory material in Nice museums is in French only although in some museums you can buy guides in English. In the Chagall museum, admission includes a free audio guide in English.
