Galerie des Ponchettes (also known as the Dufy Museum, alternately, Musee Dufy) is located in close proximity to Opera de Nice, to the Cathedral of Sainte Reparate and to Palais Lascaris.
This small gallery, which is one of the several municipal galleries of Nice, can be visited free of charge, and it is home to temporary exhibitions meant to promote the young national and foreign artists. For one to three months, the artists are given the privilege to showcase their latest creations, regardless of their affinity with a certain trend or another, though a special attention is paid to contemporary art.
