About Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations

The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations (Mucem; French: Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée; Occitan: Museu de las Civilizacions Europèas e Mediterranèas) is a national museum located in Marseille, France. It was inaugurated on 7 June 2013 as part of Marseille-Provence 2013, a year when Marseille was designated as the European Capital of Culture.

In 2015, it won the Council of Europe Museum Prize. Between 2013 and 2016, the Mucem welcomed 8.5 million visitors, including 2.2 million in its exhibition spaces. The museum is therefore presented as a tool for the attractiveness of the territory of the metropolis of Aix-Marseille-Provence.
