The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations (or MUCEM for short) is a relatively new addition to the local museums. The building is sublime and a real focal point of the rejuvenation that’s taken place in Marseille in recent years. It’s linked to the Panier, one of the oldest districts in Marseille and its neighbour, the old Fort Saint-Jean by spectacular walkways that will take your breath away. It has lots of art exhibitions inside and is a great spot for catching events, such as film screenings. Head to the roof for a beer or ice-cream and enjoy those amazing views.
