Displayed in its eighteen rooms on two floors, some shaded and intimate, other high ceilinged and ablazed with the Mediterranean light that so enraptured Matisse, the permanent collection is a celebration of Matisse's life and work. The permanent collection is made up oil paintings and paper cut-outs, drawings, engravings, bronzes, illustrated books, photographs as well as objects from Matisse's personal collection which fed the emotion necessary for his creation. A stroll through the museum will allow the visitor to discover Matisse's mastery of different mediums and techniques with works from every period of his life thus revealing the evolution in Matisse's art.
