L'art et la matière. Maquettes marseillaises
August 25
La Belle de Mai
Industrial archives, miniature city


Housed in a former tobacco factory next to La Friche, these archives trace how Marseille's 50 kilometers of coastline transformed from medieval fishing villages to modern harbors. The free exhibition "Entre terre et Mer" uses maps and documents to reveal a shoreline constantly reshaped by human ambition and natural forces, with sobering relevance for today's climate challenges.
