In Marseille, the MUCEM asserts itself as the great museum dedicated to the Mediterranean. The singularity of MUCEM is to retrace, analyze and illuminate, in the same momentum and the same place, the ancient foundations of this basin of civilization, and the tensions which cross it until the contemporary era. To be a place of exchange around Mediterranean issues.
