Production : logo © 2019

Marseille is the oldest city in France, and its rich, long history has a worthy showcase in this newly renovated museum, one of the best in the city. In 1967, the district behind the Stock Exchange (Chamber of Commerce) was redeveloped. During the works, many remarkable discoveries revealed the vastness of the old port of Marseille, and so this site became France's most ambitious urban archaeological dig to date.
