Founded in 1819, one of Marseille's oldest museums occupies the right wing of the Palais Longchamp. The permanent Terre d'évolution exhibition traces the evolution of life, and the signature hall of comparative osteology lines up skeletons from a giraffe to whales, with displays of Provençal wildlife rounding out the picture. A quiet, family-friendly stop for an hour or two — the permanent collection is free.
