Centre de la Vieille Charité

A former almshouse in Le Panier now brings a striking arcaded courtyard and two museum collections together around Pierre Puget’s domed chapel.

Why go

Come for the architecture even if you only have time for part of the museums. The enclosed court, stacked galleries and oval dome create a sharp contrast with Le Panier’s narrow streets; the collections extend the visit into Mediterranean archaeology and art from Africa, Oceania and the Americas.

What to look for

  • Three levels of arcades face the central chapel and its oval dome.
  • The Mediterranean archaeology collection adds context to the region.
  • Art from Africa, Oceania and the Americas occupies another part of the complex.

Useful to know

  • See the courtyard first, then choose the museum collection that interests you most.
  • Check the venue’s exhibition programme if a particular room or temporary show is the draw.
