The Port : Where Histories Lie
11 SEPTEMBER – 29 OCTOBER 2020

During Manifesta 13 Marseille, Musée d’Histoire de Marseille elaborated and investigated on the diverse histories of the city.

Founded in 1983, and renovated in 2013, Musée d’Histoire de Marseille was constructed after major archaeological finds were discovered when the site where the museum now stands was excavated for the redevelopment of the “Derrière la Bourse” district in the 1960s.

Located next to the Old Port, the museum, that has a collection of more than 4000 pieces from the last 2600 years, presents the history of Marseille in 13 chronological sequences, ranging from the first prehistoric occupations to contemporary urban developments.

Participants: Samia Henni*(1980, DZ), Sara Ouhaddou* (1986, FR/MA).

Venue accessible to visitors with disabilities.
