The Marc Chagall National Museum, also known as the National Museum Marc Chagall Biblical Message, is located in Nice, France. It houses the largest public collection of works by the Russian-French artist Marc Chagall. Established during Chagall's lifetime, it was inaugurated in 1973. The museum's layout was designed by the artist himself, along with the garden. He curated the space with his works to create an environment that reflects his artistic style and religious heritage. The core of the museum's collection is the series of 17 large canvases depicting biblical scenes, which Chagall referred to as 'The Biblical Message.' Alongside these major works, the museum also exhibits Chagall's paintings, drawings, and pastels, offering a deep insight into his artistic journey. The stained-glass windows infuse the space with vibrant light, complementing the spiritual and dreamlike quality of his work. The museum's architecture is Mediterranean in style, with white walls and terra cotta tiles, nestled amid a serene garden.
