Slip into the Asian Arts Museum, a modern glass-and-water building near Nice Airport. Browse Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Southeast Asian art, then pause in the tea ceremony room, all without paying for entry.
Full description
The Asian Arts Museum sits in a modern building that appears to float above a water basin, close to Nice Airport. Inside, a compact collection brings together art from China, Japan, India and Southeast Asia, along with a dedicated tea ceremony room.
Admission is free, and visitors describe the atmosphere as calm, spacious and contemplative rather than crowded. The layout makes it easy to see everything in about an hour, and the architecture is as much of an attraction as the objects.
It suits solo travellers and anyone wanting a quiet, aesthetic break from the coast.
