La place Masséna est une place du centre-ville de Nice, désignée ainsi en hommage au maréchal d’Empire André Masséna, niçois de naissance. Depuis sa construction progressive à partir des années 1820-1830, la place Masséna s’est profondément inscrite dans le patrimoine niçois. Elle est un « joyau » de la ville (Édouard Scoffier dans son œuvre, réalisée avec Felix Blanchi, sur le Consiglio d'Ornato) et un espace central de la ville de Nice.Situation exceptionnelle au sein de la villeMarquée par ses singularités autant architecturales que géométriques, la place Masséna a fort bien traversé ses presque deux siècles de vie niçoise. En effet, plusieurs fois sujette à des plans d’aménagement, elle s’est imposée petit à petit comme un centre névralgique de la cité, idéalement placée entre le Vieux-Nice et l'avenue Jean-Médecin et à proximité de la célèbre promenade des Anglais. De par son importance dans les transports de la cité, sa position géographique ainsi que par l’accueil de manifestations de toutes sortes, culturelles, sociales, politiques voire artistiques, elle est devenue un haut lieu du patrimoine niçois. Derrière ce terme de patrimoine culturel il faut évidemment y voir, non pas un élément du passé, mais bien une entité participant au foisonnement et à l’effervescence de la culture niçoise.La place Masséna est aussi un lieu éminemment important pour la diffusion de cette identité niçoise tant elle permet la rencontre de l’autochtone avec le touriste tout autant que la découverte de la culture niçoise, à travers notamment le carnaval, aux personnes étrangères à la ville. Les origines de ce symbolisme sont peut-être à trouver dans son nom même, celui du maréchal André Masséna, patriote français fermement attaché à ses origines niçoises qui symbolise peut-être une certaine dimension nationale dont la place dispose. Toutes ces spécificités font de cet espace un lieu unique que les Niçois n’hésitent pas à défendre et préserver, tant ils sont conscients de l’importance qu’il représente dans leur patrimoine.

The Musée Marc Chagall is a national museum dedicated to the work of painter Marc Chagall - essentially his works inspired by religion - and located in Nice, in the Alpes-Maritimes.HistoryThe museum was created during the lifetime of the artist, with the support of the Minister of Culture André Malraux, and inaugurated in 1973. It is also known as the "National Museum Marc Chagall Biblical Message" ("Musée national message biblique Marc Chagall") as it houses the series of seventeen paintings illustrating the biblical message, painted by Chagall and offered to the French State in 1966. This series illustrates the books of Genesis, Exodus and the Song of Songs.Chagall himself provided detailed instructions about the creation of the garden by Henri Fish, and decided the place of each of his works in the museum. The chronological order of the works was not followed. Chagall created the mosaic which overlooks the pond and the blue stained glasses that decorate the concert hall; he also wanted an annual exhibition to be held on a topic related to the spiritual and religious history of the world.As the collection has grown, what was a museum illustrating the theme Biblical message has become a monographic museum dedicated to Chagall's works of religious and spiritual inspiration. In 1972, the artist gave the museum all the preparatory sketches of the Message Biblique as well as stained glass and sculptures, and in 1986, the museum acquired, in lieu of inheritance taxes, the complete drawings and gouaches painted to depict the Exodus and ten other paintings, which includes the triptych named Résistance, Résurrection, Libération. Other acquisitions complemented the museum's collections, which now has one of the largest collection of works by Marc Chagall.
