The MuCEM (Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée) is a national museum located in Marseille, France. It is situated at the entrance of the Old Port, near Fort Saint-Jean. The museum focuses on the cultures and civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean region, offering a unique perspective on the historical, social, and cultural aspects of these regions
The MuCEM is housed in a modern building designed by architect Rudy Ricciotti. It opened its doors to the public in 2013 and has since become a major cultural attraction in Marseille. The building itself is an architectural marvel, featuring a stunning lattice-like facade made of concrete and steel
The museum's permanent collection showcases a wide range of artifacts, artworks, and exhibits that highlight the rich heritage and diversity of the Mediterranean region. It explores themes such as trade, migration, religion, and cultural interactions. The collection includes archaeological artifacts, historical objects, contemporary art pieces, and multimedia installations
One of the highlights of the MuCEM is the walkway that connects the museum to Fort Saint-Jean. This suspended footbridge offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the Old Port and the sea. It is a popular spot for visitors to relax and enjoy the breathtaking scenery
