Best Art Museums in Europe

October 14, 2007

Today, I have to add a new museum to my list of favorite art museums in Europe.

It is the Maeght Foundation, in Saint Paul de Vence, in the French Riviera. After this afternoon’s sight of gorgeous sculptures by Miro and Giacometti, to name a few, as well as Chagall’s huge painting ‘La Vie/Vive”, I decided this museum is definitely on the ‘worthwhile’ list.

The museum with the private collection of exquisite world famous art of the Maeght Foundation is delightfully set adjacent to the pretty medieval hill-top village.

Prior to today, my list included the following mega museums, that are useful to both the art scholar and the general public interested in art.
