In the building that he occupies, the Expressionist artist worked in the last years of life . The number of museum exhibits includes hundreds of paintings written in oil, gouache or pastel, as well as drawings .

These are figures from the Far East, European old toys, carpets, antique furniture and much more. oe . Manet Katz considered himself a "citizen of the world" and constantly traveled, but did not forget about his roots . A significant part of his collection is a collection dedicated to the history and culture of the Jews; and in his works the artist often returned to the Jewish themes, using the plots of ordinary life, and the biblical scenes .

The museum is small, and it can be easily seen in half an hour-hour. But here often there are exhibitions of world-class work and not necessarily modern.

Mane Katz occupies an important place among the members of the Paris School, a group of young artists who came to Paris from Eastern and Central Europe in the early 20th century. In the period between the two wars, they became a kind of standard-bearer of the avant-garde and made a tangible contribution to the transformation of Paris into the world capital of art. In particular, Kats's painting "The Wailing Wall" won a gold medal at the Paris World Exhibition in 1937

Wonderful views of the city and the bay open from the terrace behind the museum. On Saturdays there is a café on the terrace

The museum is small, and it can be easily seen in half an hour-hour. But here often there are exhibitions of world-class works and not necessarily modern ones. So, in 2014 the museum opened the exposition "Great masters: Judaic art of the 19th century", in which paintings by Mauricius Gottlieb (Poland), Joseph Izraels (Netherlands), Lesser Uri (Germany) and sculptures by Mark Antokolsky (Poland) are displayed. There are also works by Maurice Utrillo and Marc Chagall
