The Musée d'Arts Africains, Océaniens et Amérindiens (MAAOA) is a museum in Marseille. It is located on the second floor of the Vieille Charité, a 17th century building built to house the poor and the sick of the city of Marseille. On the first floor of the building there is also the museum dedicated to the archeology of the Mediterranean. Together with Paris, where the Musée du Quai Brainly is located, Marseille is the only French city to host a museum dedicated to African, Oceanian and South and North American arts. The MAAOA offers a rich collection of objects, which are both works of art and witnesses of their own cultures at the same time. The rooms of the museum are organized according to different themes: the African room, made up of masks, sculptures, statues, reliquaries; the Oceania-Americas Room, made up of 80 sculpted, modeled, painted or engraved skulls and South American masks and feather ornaments; finally, the Hall of Mexico, dedicated to a collection of popular art with more than 3000 objects, of which only a part is exhibited: there are masks, ceramics, trees of life, sculptures. The museum also organizes various temporary exhibitions.
