Masséna, History museum on Promenade des Anglais, Nice, France
The Villa Masséna Museum occupies a neoclassical mansion with white facades, galleries, and loggias facing the Mediterranean Sea and gardens designed by Edouard André.
Built in 1898 for Victor Masséna, grandson of Napoleonic general André Masséna, the villa features Empire-style reception rooms with decorations from the castle of Govone.
The museum exhibits illustrate Nice's evolution through Napoleon memorabilia, including his St Helena vest, death mask, and Empress Josephine's coronation gown.
Located at 65 rue de France, the museum opens from 10 AM to 6 PM except Tuesdays, with entry fees of 10 euros for adults and free for children under 18.
The third floor contains photographs, vintage posters, and artifacts from Nice Carnival, plus remnants from Casino de la Jetée destroyed during World War II.
