    The winding stretch of Mediterranean coastline extending from Marseilles to Menton--known as the French Riviera--has inspired numerous artists since becoming a tourist resort in the 1860s. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) moved there in 1917, attracted by the area's scenic beauty and radiant light.

    Including 40 works total, 34 paintings and 6 sculptures from the Museum's collection and local private collections, this year-long installation celebrates the French Riviera's mythic allure for modern artists.
