Perched on a high, verdant ridge at Saint Paul de Vence above Nice, the museum is the elegantly terraced product of José Luis Sert, dean of Harvard's Graduate School of Design. Its ochre fieldstone walls blend into the slope; atop the roof, flying scoops shaped like quarter-cylinders trap the harsh Mediterranean light, diffuse it through milky glass, and bounce it off vaults inside to soften it further.

One bejeweled matron tore the glasses off a startled young man next to her; another dug her fingernails into her adversary's Balenciaga décolleté. Dress Designer Yves Saint Laurent dealt his neighbor a smart kick in the shins. Monaco's Princess Grace, along with Charlie Chaplin, his wife and his brood, fled for the exits. Aristotle Onassis and Rudolf Bing stayed on to applaud. The tumult raged for a full 30 minutes. Then...
