Mucem Museum Tickets

The structure that Rudy Ricciotti (in collaboration with Roland Carta) built and had its grand opening in June 2013 has come to represent the revitalized city of Marseille. This concrete cube, with sides that measure 72 meters, is covered in a concrete lace screen, giving it a distinct appearance and contributing to the Museum's status as a "world-object" known all over the world. From its glazed exhibition areas, top terrace, and external ramps that round the building, the J4 provides 360-degree vistas that encompass the surrounding harbour basins and the Mediterranean beyond. A 135-meter-long elevated pedestrian bridge connects it to Fort Saint Jean. The J4 is truly the "heart" of the MuCEM, serving as a venue for significant long-term and short-term exhibitions as well as ongoing and special events from the artistic and cultural calendar.

The history of the now-closed Fort Saint Jean goes all the way back to the 12th century, but despite its age, the fort's appearance to the outside world was that of an impregnable fortress. In 2013, after years of restoration, the fort was finally opened to the public at no cost, marking a first in the city's history. The Fort Saint Jean is an exciting new cultural hub in the heart of Marseille, with a wide variety of activities on offer. History trail, a botanical promenade through the Jardin des Migrations, and the possibility to uncover beautiful panoramas are just a few of the activities to mention.

The Museum's collections—more than a million items in total—are housed in a massive ochre-colored monolith created by architect Corinne Vezzoni (in collaboration with André Jolivet). Uniquely, here is also where the public can view the collections for the first time after they have been repaired, analyzed, and conserved. This dual role is crucial to the work of the CCR. The whole collection is available for on-site viewing by museum staff, researchers, students, art enthusiasts, and interested onlookers. Today with Mucem tickets you can experience what it's like "behind the scenes' ' at the Mucem by visiting the reception area and exhibition space.

Huge amounts of material connected to theater and dance have been amassed since the museum's inception. A drum was the first item ever purchased by the museum all the way back in 1881 which you can view with Mucem tickets. These collections, which number close to 35,000 items, cover a wide range of topics, from the carnival and circus to dance and puppetry to music and even bullfighting.

The collections of the Mucem have a wealth of manmade items that must be marveled at with Mucem tickets in hand. Complete workshops and stores mirror the world of manufacturing and retailing items as varied as artificial flowers, playing cards, and nails. All of which are produced using a combination of so-called traditional knowledge, industrial standardization and seriation techniques. Various forms of advertising extol its virtues.

It's impossible to separate the realms of the intimate, the functional, and the aesthetic when discussing the human body. Your gender, social standing, and sometimes even your country of origin can be deduced from the clothes you wear and the rituals you follow. The ability to account for the same kinds of associations with the body in ancient civilizations as in modern ones is made possible by collections as diverse as regional costumes and tattoo artists' models.

The Mucem collections are a window into the varied ways in which men and women in the region interact with the supernatural. Thus, it encompasses not just artifacts associated with common beliefs like as divination, clairvoyance, etc., but also those attesting to the private, home rituals of adherents to the three monotheisms of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, and marine life are all represented in the Mucem archives with the focus on culinary expertise. Pieces from the Popular Arts and Traditions Museum and the "Europe" collection of the Musée de l'Homme are included here. Together with prints, pictures, and audiovisual collections (songs, music, surveys), you can witness everything with Mucem tickets.

The Museum's collection of artifacts, pictures, and video interviews on the subject of sport and health attests to the diverse ways in which men have approached and conceptualized physical fitness and athletic competitiveness across time and space. Football, fan culture, skateboarding, medical history, and the AIDS epidemic all feature heavily, as do other modern topics which can be viewed with Mucem tickets.
