Musée des Beaux-Arts, Marseille

Amazing place with the most impressive fountain I’ve seen anywhere and the very underrated museum the lies within it. While limited, there are a couple of Rubens in the collection and some pieces bu members of Caravaggio’s studio. The building itself is quite a jaw dropping architectural marvel so the combination of the pieces of art, the fountain, and the building make for a worthwhile visit - and it’s free!

There is a wonderful collection here, of which only part is on display. Hence only 4⭐ Featured are works by genius Sculptor/Painter, Pierre Puget who was born in Marseille but there are many other great works on display

I really enjoyed the exhibit of swim fashions – – there are some really playful costumes here. This museum houses an extraordinary collection of porcelain and antique glass, which might be a snooze for some visitors but I found it fascinating. The delicacy in artistry displayed is abundant. The museum itself is quite impressive— be sure to tour the antique rooms here.

Great museum - fantastic building and some excellent pictures including a few world-class masterpieces. Very helpful guides ready to answer questions.

Was a bit surprised that the tickets were for free, considering the nice art pieces displaying there! We went there on a Sunday morning, it was a nice amount of people there, not crowded. The museum is also a nice size, not big so you can easily combine this visit with other things.

On saturday our first day in Maseille we discovered this place and wanted to just roam around but the curator for a free music program invited us for the party at night. So afterr taking a couple of hours walk around the city we came back and danced and had fun to the sounds of Rumba De Boda. The next day (today) was the first sunday of the month so we were able to visit both museum of fine arts and natural history for free. I cannot really express how many art pieces sunned there. Inspiring for my own work. Tickets are normally 45 for fine arts museo and 3 for natural story. Today s also the last day of national geography's photo exhibition above the museum of natural history. Outside peripheries Are magnificent and exceptional in many ways. The architecture is not "unique" in the sense that it seems like greek inspired baroque style but the layout is impressive from every side you see it. It is a hub that attracts people of the community from.all age groups. Certainly recommend pending a few hours here at least.

Gorgeous museum with exquisitely beautiful art collection, quiet, no crowds. The entrance is free.
