Great wealth exsts on the Riviera and Musee Nissim de Camondo

A private mansion in Monaco
 


I arrived at the Musee Nissim de Camondo a few minutes before they closed, unfortunately.. All I had time to do was run from room to room snapping pictures and in each room a guard was yellng at me, "We're closing in three minutes"; "We're closing in two minutes"., etc. I want to return next time.
Moise de Camondo was a wealthy banker whose only son was killed in World War I. At his death he donated his mansion to the French government with the stipulation that the rooms remain absolutely unchanged and that the museum be named after his son, Nissim.
