The Musée Masséna is a museum located in Nice, France, dedicated to the history of the city and the region of Provence. The museum is named after Victor Masséna, a French nobleman who served as a general in the Napoleonic Wars and was a prominent figure in the history of Nice.
The museum is housed in a beautiful building in the neo-classical style, located on the Promenade des Anglais, facing the Mediterranean Sea. The building was originally built in the 19th century as a private residence, and was later acquired by the city of Nice to house the museum.

One of the highlights of the museum is the room dedicated to the history of Nice during the Belle Époque, a period of great prosperity and cultural richness for the city. The room features paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other objects related to the life and culture of the city during this period.
