St Paul de Vence--Fondation Maeght

Even though St-Paul-de-Vence is touted as the most famous Riviera hill-town, having views and cobblesstone streets with photo opts abounding, we chose only to go to the Fondation Maeght, a private museum which gave us an excellent introduction to modern Mediterranean art by gathering many of the Riviera's most famous artists under one roof---and scattered over one large outdoor lawn with amazing sculptures.
Artists whose work we saw included Georges Braque, Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, Alberto Gaicometti, Fernand Leger (and some others whom I didn't know)
Below are samples of the sculptures, paintings, and stained glass.
