Marseille History Museum

Belsunce

Wander through 2,600 years of Marseille's story in a museum literally built over the ancient Greek and Roman port. Stand before remarkably preserved shipwrecks, explore interactive exhibits that bring the past alive, and step outside into the Jardin des Vestiges where ancient harbor walls still rise from the earth. The permanent collection is always free, so you can return whenever curiosity strikes.
