The cultural jewel of Marseille's waterfront, inaugurated in 2013 at the entrance to the Old Port. Designed by architect Rudy Ricciotti, the stunning cubic building is enveloped in a delicate lattice of ultra-high-performance concrete that filters sunlight and sea breezes. A dramatic footbridge connects the modern structure to the 12th-century Fort Saint-Jean, while exhibits explore Mediterranean cultures and shared history.
Highlights
- Rudy Ricciotti's filigree concrete lattice facade over the sea
- Suspended footbridge connecting the museum to Fort Saint-Jean
- Rich exhibits examining Mediterranean civilizations and arts
- Panoramic rooftop terrace overlooking Marseille's Old Port
