Located in the heart of Marseille, inside the modern complex of Centre Bourse, the Musée d’Histoire de Marseille is the perfect museum for those who want to immerse themselves in the millennia-old history of the oldest city in France. Founded in 1983 and completely renovated in 2013, the museum offers an engaging exhibition path that tells over 2,600 years of history, from the Greek-Roman period to the present day.

Inside, the museum exhibits over 4,000 artifacts, including ceramics, mosaics, amphorae, ship models, and everyday objects that testify to the urban, cultural, and commercial evolution of the city.
The Musée d’Histoire de Marseille stands out for its interactive and multimedia exhibition, ideal for families and younger visitors. The chronological path allows you to understand how Marseille has transformed over the centuries, maintaining an identity deeply linked to the Mediterranean.
