Mysteries and Enigmas at the Mucem

Discover the Mucem in Marseille

Suspended between sky and water, the Mucem opens its doors at the entrance to Marseille's Old Port. This highly innovative national museum is a major project for the Mediterranean, redefining its horizon and becoming the meeting point for the two shores. It is the first museum in the world entirely dedicated to Mediterranean cultures, which are so rich in history and civilisation.

An innovative museum

Mucem, short for the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisation, is an architectural marvel. Designed by architect Rudy Ricciotti, the museum is a harmonious blend of ancient and modern buildings. A visit to Mucem is an experience in itself, offering total immersion in the history and cultural diversity of the Mediterranean.

The museum offers permanent and temporary exhibitions highlighting the different facets of Mediterranean civilisations. Rich and varied collections allow visitors to discover the art, history, anthropology and traditions of this emblematic region.
