The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations (Mucem; [1] French: Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée) 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. [2]

As the first museum devoted to Mediterranean cultures, the Mucem is a completely novel structure. The product of the metamorphosis of a major societal museum – the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions, created in Paris in 1937 –, it represents the first real conversion of a museum from national to regional.

The Mucem is open to groups from 9 to 11 am every day, except Tuesdays. Outside those hours, group time slots may available, depending on the programme of activities.

With nearly 45,000 sqm spreaded over three sites, the Mucem is a must-see in Marseille. It is located at the entrance to the port, on the J4 harbor mole and in Fort Saint-Jean: two places highly symbolic of the city’s current development and its age.
