Top Museums in Marseille

I suggest checking out the museum's website for any special events or temporary exhibitions. I stumbled upon a cool workshop during my visit!

If you want to skip the overpriced café, pack a light lunch. There are great picnic spots nearby with a lovely view of the water.

take your time in the temporary exhibitions; they're often the highlight! i spent an extra hour there and it was so worth it.

Plan to visit on a weekday if you can. The weekends can get super crowded, which means longer lines and less time to explore.

I recommend visiting right when the museum opens at 10 AM. It's less crowded and you can enjoy the exhibits at your own pace. If you can, maybe schedule it during the weekdays for even fewer visitors.

Definitely take advantage of the free app they offer for audio guides. It gives you a lot of cool insights without having to pay extra for a guided tour. Super helpful!

My advice is to plan at least 2-3 hours for your visit. Trust me, there's a lot to take in, and rushing through it is no fun. Plus, the views from the museum are fantastic!

If you're into photography, don’t forget to hit up the rooftop terrace. The views of Marseille are stunning, and it’s a great spot to take pics without all the crowd

I suggest getting your tickets online before you go. It saved me a lot of time in line, and the ticket prices are pretty reasonable too. Plus, you won't have to worry about last-minute cash issues.

I think it's a good idea to grab the combo ticket if you're planning on visiting other local attractions—saves some bucks and you can hop around without stressing about buying tickets each time.

I recommend visiting on a Wednesday or Thursday morning; the crowds are way lighter and you can enjoy the exhibits at your own pace without feeling rushed

If you can, grab a lunch nearby at one of the cafés first—it's way cheaper than the museum's café, and you'll have more energy to explore.
