The city of Marseille in France can be considered as a European capital of culture as there you can find many culture attractions and the city is considered to follow the latest fashion trends. In this cultural city are being constructed two new museums. The first one is which is designed by Rudy Ricciotti is called MuCEM, Museum of Civilization in Europe and the Mediterranean and it is very close to the old port. The museum is very big, actually 40.000 square meters and inside there will be many exhibitions and things to enjoy your visit like festivals, cinema, theater and many more. This building is really enormous and looks like a giant parallelepiped close to the sea where you can see the old fortress and near Saint Jean.

The second museum is called Cerem and is designed by Stefano Boeri and is a tribute to the mare nostrum which is the Regional Centre for the Mediterranean. The great structure whose shape is like a large C cut in half by a dock with a large roof overhang and is suspended 19 meters above the ground. Inside the building is enough space for exhibitions, concerts, big meetings and many more. From there you have a great view of the sea.
