Matisse Museum

About

The white stone exterior keeps its stillness like a sculpture holding light within. Climbing the old wooden staircase and stepping inside, a quiet breath seems to wrap around the space. Woman Reading, hanging on the wall, lets one feel Matisse's gaze fixed on the woman's back within the dim room. His self-portrait stands still on the wall, and the visitor's eyes cannot help but linger beyond the world within the painting. In the quiet stillness, Matisse's sensibility spreads warmly, following the flow of light and color.
