Day 24 - Nicholas Cathedral and Fine Arts Museum

Today went out to a funky Russian church tucked away in a corner of Nice. It was quite and amazing place to go into and contrasted so differently from alot of the more 'western' churches I'd seen. It had a very 13/14th century byzantine feel to it.

After this I went to the Nice museum of Fine Arts and while it was worth a look, nothing really to rave about. Seemed like a lot of the artists were referencing other great masters but not doing anything with it. I guess a modern equivalent is the Simspons/Toy Story/Shrek and how they do take offs of movies - they do it in a clever way. If they were to just do the whole movie, it isn't clever and something similar here.
