|A must-visit in Nice is Chagall’s dream world. NICE | Chagall's Dream World is a must-visit in Nice. Time: 10:00-13:00/14:00-18:00 (Closed on Tuesdays, tickets are 8 euros, you can make an appointment in advance to enter the museum without queuing on site) This is a museum designed by architect André Ehrmann. Although Chagall's works are collected by many museums and art galleries in the world, the works collected in this museum are very unique. The difference does not refer to his painting style, but to the subject matter, because most of the 450 works collected in this museum are based on the Old Testament. Among them are 17 oil paintings, 39 pastels, 105 copperplate engravings, 75 lithographs, sculptures, stained glass mosaics, etc. For this reason, the Chagall Museum has an official name: [National Marc Chagall Museum of Biblical Mission]. The construction of the museum started in 1969, and the Chagall Museum was officially opened on July 7, 1973, Chagall’s 86th birthday. The purpose of the museum is to use art works to promote Chagall’s biblical views as a painter. In fact, as a painter, Chagall expressed his pursuit of the ideal of life in his dream art. ■Chagall said "Un vitrail est une séparation transparente entre mon coeur et le coeur du monde" [Don’t use concrete shapes and colors, but the spontaneous and natural expression in your heart, a flying horse and a floating lover. Don’t worry about the worries running through your mind, and don’t avoid physical proximity. We are not destined to be Moses. We will not cut open the Red Sea to get the Jews to respond. We just want freshly baked Socca and the blue coastline of Côte d’Azur. His art is pure and light, just like a city like Nice. Picasso said in the 1950s, "After Matisse's death, Chagall became the only person in the world who truly understood color." You can stop in front of each painting in the museum for a long time, with passionate collisions of colors, dreamy characters, and indulgent love. If you don't believe in love, go and see Chagall's paintings!
