The Nice, ma ville, mon quartier exhibition is on show at the Villa Massena museum until March 2, 2025. It will be of interest to the people of Nice, city lovers, history buffs and the curious.

Exhibition Nice, ma ville, mon quartier

The exhibition is presented by major sectors: Rive du Paillon, Nice Historique, Haut de Nice, Cœur de Nice, Collines de Nice, and Nice Ouest. It covers various themes:

• The arrival of the English in the 18th century.
Important events such as the International Exhibition and the arrival of electricity.
• The development of infrastructure (train stations, hospitals, hotels, etc.).
• Emblematic economic activities such as the cultivation of wine and carnations.

The exhibition is an "intimate representation of the city". Intimate indeed, as the streets, buildings and activities evoked provide memories of journeys, visits, leisure activities, etc.
This is therefore not a cold exhibition of Nice's neighborhoods, but an evocation of life in the city.
And it's a great pleasure to find one's bearings on the huge aerial views of Nice, to be amazed at the ancient configuration of certain streets, etc.

.

Six territories and 38 neighborhoods

The vast city of Nice has been gradually transformed. So, we return to the ancient city and its history, which has constantly transformed the city.
Yes, the changes in Nice are not just current, they've always existed, the city has constantly adapted.
Thanks to this exhibition Nice, ma ville, mon quartier, we can experience this slow evolution.
In addition to illustrations, drawings, watercolors or old paintings of Nice neighborhoods, we'll note the names of famous artists in Nice (here in chronological order of birth):

• Clément Roassal (1781-1850)
• Joseph Fricero (1807-1870)
• Hercule Trachel (1820-1872)
• Emmanuel Costa (1833-1921)
• Alexis Mossa (1844-1926)
• Jean Giletta (1856-1933)
• Etc

The Vivian Maier Anthology in Nice exhibition runs from October 19, 2024 to March 16, 2025, at the Charles Nègre Museum of Photography.

Vivian Maier Anthology exhibition

The Musée Charles Nègre de la photographie presents 140 images by Vivian Maier. Super-8 and 16mm photographs and films bear witness to the artist's art, style and language.
In fact, her films denote a new style, at the crossroads between photographs of everyday life and humanistic photographs that focus on the individual.
The Vivian Maier Anthology exhibition features highly technical photographs that reveal the artist's personal view of her contemporaries, cities and nature.
Everything is admired, from the geometry of architectural pieces, to colors, shapes. And above all, the portraits of ordinary people, reflecting a sensitive life.
Beyond the unfamiliar faces, it's their whole lives that shine through.

Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier (1926-2009) wasn't always a photographer. She began her working life as a governess. She became interested in photography simply as a curious amateur. She spent all her spare time photographing and filming, just for herself.
But these photographs were noticed. Belatedly noticed, since it was in 2007 that Vivian Maier's 120,000 photos and videos were discovered.
An immense photographic treasure trove, revealing the life of her time in an essentially modest environment. A highly sensitive work, one might say modest, but oh so interesting.
