An exceptional exhibition dedicated to drawings from the Palace of Versailles will highlight acquisitions made since 2000.
One hundred and sixty years after Nice's annexation to France, the Jules Chéret Museum of Fine Arts looks back at its origins, closely linked to this historic event. Indeed, when Napoleon III visited the city in 1860, artistic activity remained the product of private initiatives.
No large museum establishment can structure collections and events.
The Empire then implemented a proactive policy, marked by goodwill towards the newly annexed territories. Very quickly, the project of the Museum of Fine Arts was carried by personalities whose diverse origins, situations and political positions fueled a passionate debate mixing aesthetic and social dimensions with questions of identity and territorial claims.
