Pictured is the coat of arms of the Lascaris-Ventimiglia family, late 17th century, Nice, France. It is painted in the roof of the honor vestibule in the Lascaris Palace Museum. The words NEC ME FVLGVRA are Latin for good heart. Built in the first half of the seventeenth century and altered in the eighteenth century, the palace was owned by the Vintimille-Lascaris family until 1802. In 1942, it was bought by the city of Nice to create a museum. The restorations began in 1962 and were completed in 1970, when the museum was opened to the public. In 2001, the historical musical instrument collections of the city of Nice were transferred from the Musée Masséna to the Palais Lascaris with the project of transforming it into a music museum. In 2011, the permanent exhibition of musical instruments was finally opened to the public.
