The best museums Bouches-Du-Rhône

In the Belsunce district, easily accessible by the T 2 or T 3 tram, Thubaneau Street is home to the Marseillaise memorial, recognizable by far by the great blue-white-white flag adorning its façade. Originally home to a palm play room in the seventeenth century, the place subsequently became a theater and then an Arab bath. It was in 1792 that the building became the seat of the Jacobins club, from which the Marseilles Federated, direction Paris for taking the Tuileries Palace. Their war song, that of the Rhine Army, will later become commonly known as the Marseillaise and our national anthem. The museum is centered around routes with images, multimedia archives and various recordings of the revolutionary song. A real success that we appreciate every visit. History but playful for those that the subject does not attract, well animated with its special effects, it will delight small and large. Opened in 2011, this unique historical interpretation center offers cultural activities and events as well as a wide selection of works and products in its boutique bookshop.

Ethnography, Art, History and Painting are grouped into collections in a beautiful farmhouse "the Pavilion". The sheep rearing is illustrated by a model containing standard objects on the rural activities of the Crau plain. The history of soap in Provence and the trading of olive oil also find their place in this museum. Other assets: a garden accessible to the public, a library, documentation centre open to the public with photo library and tour aids such as audiovisual and some commercial services (bookstore, carterie, shop).

Set in a unique hotel in the Mazarin district, the museum is the work of Paul ARBAUD. The donation of this collector, gumby and patron is rich in one of the largest and beautiful collections of Provençal tiles, adorning beautifully a beautifully decorated room of antique furniture. A gentle soft light creates a warm atmosphere in this museum, with a rich library containing wonderful scientific, agricultural, artistic and literary works, some of its manuscripts dating back to the th century.
