The Palais Lascaris is a heritage building from the seventeenth-century, situated in Nice, and largely regarded as a musical instrument historical center today. Placed in the old town of Nice, it houses an accumulation of over 500 instruments, which makes it France's second highest visited cultural centre. The collections feature a tenor sackbut used by musician Anton Schnitzer, numerous violas d'amore by the musician group comprising of Joannes Florenus Guidanti, Gagliano, Johann Schorn, and Johann Ot. The general section also houses a bass violin by Paolo Antonio Testore, and numerous violas da gamba along with the one used by William Turner.

The newer sections feature numerous amazing and extraordinary ornate guitars, incorporating the one used by Giovanni Tesler, and another prestigious guitar used by René Voboam. The guitar used by Jean Christophle is also one of the most recently acquired French guitars. Along with the numerous guitar and violas, various eighteenth-century recorders, including the one used by Johann Christoph Denner, and an unnamed eighteenth-century harpsichord are also preserved. Among the harps, the first models manufactured by Sébastien Erard, which also include his first single-player harp and his first twofold movement harp are preserved. The harp used by Naderman is also featured, which was earlier housed by the Viscountess of Beaumont.
