The Fernand Léger National Museum (French: Musée national Fernand Léger) 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.
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 Georges Bauquier, to designs by the architect Andreï Svetchine; an earlier design by Paul Nelson had been rejected.
[2] The gardens were designed by Henri Fish and contain sculptures based on Léger's work.
