Marseille

History Museum sights in Marseille

  1. A

    Musée d’Histoire de Marseille

    A fascinating insight into Marseille’s cultural heritage, this museum has extraordinary exhibits, such as the remains of a 3rd-century AD merchant vessel, discovered in the Vieux Port in 1974. To preserve the soaked and decaying wood, it was freeze-dried where it now sits behind glass. Most explanatory notes are in French only.
