Musée National Marc Chagall

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:01:00

This small museum houses the largest public collection of works by Belarusian painter Marc Chagall (1887–1985). The main hall displays 12 huge interpretations (1954–67) of stories from Genesis and Exodus. In an antechamber, an unusual mosaic of Elijah in his fiery chariot, surrounded by signs of the zodiac, is viewed through a plate-glass window and reflected in a small pond. From the city centre, allow about 20 minutes to walk to the museum (signposted from av de l’Olivetto).
