Musée international d'art naïf Anatole Jakovsky
The Musée international d'art naïf Anatole Jakovsky brings naïve art into a nineteenth-century villa in Nice, France. A large park surrounds the building, with rare and unusual plant species among its paths.
More than six hundred works from twenty-seven countries trace naïve painting from the eighteenth century to the present. Paintings, sculptures, drawings, and posters include works by Henri Rousseau, André Bauchant, Camille Bombois, Rimbert, and Séraphine Louis. Croatian, Haitian, and Brazilian artists broaden the collection, while art brut and singular art add works by Gaston Chaissac, Auguste Forestier, Anselme Boix-Vives, and Danielle Jacqui.
Families can join storytelling tours for children from two years old, workshops for children over six, and short collection tours. In the garden, a flower hunt connects flowers in the artworks with the plants growing outside.
