Understanding the Marseille scene
An artistic geography linked to the port, workshops and wastelands
The Marseille scene is not concentrated in a single street. Le Panier and la Joliette connect galleries, art editions and major institutions; La Belle de Mai brings together production, residencies and exhibitions in industrial volumes; Reformed, Belsunce and the Old Port host independent places; the Plaine and Notre-Dame-du-Mont cultivate experimentation; finally, Malmousque and the south offer spaces where art, design and architecture interact with the Mediterranean landscape.
Check the program the same day
Many places work to the rhythm of the exhibitions and close between two clashes. Check the official website or the PAC network before traveling.
Group visits by neighborhood
Distances can be significant. Le Panier and Joliette can be covered on foot; for Belle de Mai, Malmousque or Michelet, plan transport.
Enter without intimidation
Access is often free. Asking for a room sheet, the price of a work or details on an artist is an integral part of the visit.
