Created in 1963, this museum harbours the remains of one of the few preserved trading ports in the world. Discovered during the reconstruction of the old port area which was destroyed during World War II, these archeological remains are testimony to the commercial activity of Marseilles, the Phocaean City, in ancient times. Other exhibits retrace the Greek and medieval period from 6 BC to 4 AD, giving a revealing insight into the different kinds of merchandise that passed through the city. For instance, you can see an amphora - the ancient Greek two-handled jar - as well as details of how it was made, and pieces of wreckage, once buried in the depths beyond the harbour, have now been raised for display.
Ouvert tous les jours de 10:00-17:00 du 01/10 au 31/05
