Erard Museum in Nice

Today, we're going to take a trip to the Old Town of Nice!





Here's what I discovered...a free museum with an exhibition of Erard, the inventor of the modern harp!
All kinds of interesting antique instruments:





The Basset Horn!
Lyre Guitars
Some awesome ceilings

  
 A nicely desigmed harpsichord with a tapestry behind it...

An old pharmacy that was in the same building. More info on the second picture!
Hope you enjoyed this! Keep checking in!

St Paul de Vence

A gorgeous hilltop locale situated outside of Nice, France, this Medieval village has been one of my top ten places in the world for the last three years.
 Artwork by Marc Chagall outside the village

...along with his grave, where he rests in peace! A fitting place as this location as all kinds of marvelous art galleries




Some nice outdoor sculptures!
 Melting sax clock a la Dali! I might have to buy it some time!

More sax related art!
