Sculpture in the gardens of the museum

The Fernand Léger National Museum (Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a museum in Biot, Alpes-Maritimes, in south-eastern France, dedicated to the work of the twentieth-century artist Fernand Léger. Although originally privately owned, it is now a state museum entitled to style itself Musée de France.

History

In 1955, Fernand Léger bought a villa in Biot, called Mas Saint-André, with the intention of installing polychrome ceramic sculptures in his garden, but died soon afterwards.[1] The museum was built on the property after the death of the artist in 1955 by Nadia Léger and Шаблон:Ill, to designs by the architect Andreï Svetchine; an earlier design by Paul Nelson had been rejected. Construction began in 1957, and the museum opened in 1960.[2] The gardens were designed by Henri Fish and contain sculptures based on Léger's work.[3]
