Musée d’Histoire de Marseille

Why go

Start with the remains of the ancient port, then use the collections to place them in a wider story reaching from Greek Massalia through later city life. The museum gives physical context to the Vieux-Port you see today. It is especially useful before exploring the waterfront on foot.

What to look for

• The Jardin des Vestiges preserves remains of the ancient port.
• Archaeological objects trace Marseille’s development across centuries.
• A historic ship hull links the displays to maritime trade.

Useful to know

• See the archaeological garden as well as the galleries; the two explain each other.
• Check current access arrangements with the museum if you need step-free entry.
