The Mucem, Marseille’s iconic museum inaugurated in 2013, is a unique venue dedicated to the civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean. With its contemporary architecture designed by Rudy Ricciotti and its privileged location between the Old Port and Fort Saint-Jean, it offers a captivating immersion into Mediterranean history, art and cultures.
The building, both modern and majestic, is connected to Fort Saint-Jean by a spectacular footbridge. Its openwork concrete facades filter the light and offer breathtaking views of the sea. The Mucem thus becomes a symbol of dialogue between tradition and modernity, between historical past and cultural innovation.
Through its permanent and temporary exhibitions, the Mucem explores the civilisations, arts, beliefs and lifestyles of the Mediterranean. Music, photography, art objects and interactive installations create a rich and immersive journey for all audiences, from history buffs to curious families.
A symbol of Marseille’s cultural influence, the Mucem is an essential stop for discovering the richness and diversity of Mediterranean civilisations, combining heritage, art and innovation.
