The Massena museum is a municipal museum of the city of Nice, located in one of the last luxury villas of the 19th century, on the promenade des Anglais.

Villa Masséna was built on the Promenade des Anglais between 1898 and 1901 by the Danish architect Hans-Georg Tersling (1857-1920), one of the best architects of the French Riviera during the Belle Epoque. The style chosen is neoclassical with a strong Italianate stamp.

The prince Victor of Essling (1836-1910) grandson of the Niçois André Masséna, makes it his residence of winter. His son, André, heir to the estate on the death of his father, donated it to the City of Nice in 1919, and the museum Masséna was inaugurated in 1921 #museemasséna #villamasséna #opulence #luxury #beauty #travel #nicefrance #Frenchrivera
