- Two weeks ago, I visited the Chagall Museum in Nice. I didn't know this artist but I loved his paintings with their vibrant colours. He also painted the Opera Garnier's ceiling in Paris. On this ceiling, the painter wanted to celebrate his two favourite themes: music and life. - I absolutely must go to see that museum! - Yes! And next week, I am going to visit the Matisse Museum. - He is one of my favourite artists! Can I come with you please? - Of course! I'm going to buy tickets for next weekend.

Let me take a look at that...
