Mucem

Located in Marseille, the Mucem is interested in the contemporary aspects of the civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean. Its aim is to help visitors gain a better understanding of the world they inhabit. The collections comprise a million artworks and objects, an exceptional treasure that is showcased in an ambitious programme of permanent and temporary exhibitions.
A 21st-century museum, it forms a veritable cultural complex that has a vast historical span stretching from the Neolithic period to the present day, drawing on all the disciplines of the human and social sciences, and bringing together art from both shores of the Mediterranean.
