What you can see<\/h2>\n\n

Surprising architecture<\/h3>\n\n
\"Museum<\/figure>\n\n

The building housing Nice’s Museum of Asian Arts is a work of art in itself. Designed by the Japanese architect Kenzo Tange in raw concrete surrounded by water, whose style is influenced by the Swiss urban architect Le Corbusier, it is quite original in relation to the architectural style of the area. The museum’s architecture plays on the contrast between massive forms and transparent walls. The white marble on the walls lends a sense of solidity, while the glass surfaces lend lightness and transparency.<\/p>\n\n

A museum on water<\/h3>\n\n
\"Park<\/figure>\n\n

The Asian Arts Museum is set above the park’s lake, in the middle of a lush green setting that stands out from Nice’s Ar\u00e9nas district (the city’s international business center). We had an almost magical feeling of floating on water.<\/p>\n\n

Permanent collections on the first floor<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n

We also really appreciated the museography, which showcases the works in sober, uncluttered rooms. Sculptures, paintings, chests, headdresses, traditional costumes, masks… We found these collections quite simply magnificent. On the first floor, the museum displays a permanent collection with a varied range of works.<\/p>\n\n

The elegance of ceremonial armor<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n

Among the pieces on display in the permanent collection, we had the pleasure of discovering the elegance and finesse of ceremonial armors like the one shown here. This marvel dates back to the 1st half of the 19th century in Japan. It bears the emblem of the Hetto clan, which ruled the Sakura estate in the late Edo period (Tokyo’s former name) under Emperor Meiji. At the back, admire this gold-leaf Japanese screen, testimony to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Land of the Rising Sun.<\/p>\n\n
