France Exterior View of Museum of European Civilizations, Marseille
One of the most beautiful museums in the world.
Museum of European Civilizations. Opened in 2013, the year Marseille was named the European Capital of Culture. 2015 won the Council of Europe Museum Award.
The idea of a suspension bridge over the sea is ingenious, 135 meters long. From the museum, you go to the Saint-Jean Castle, and on the bridge, you take pictures of both sides. The museum costs 167 million euros.
Designed by architect:
Rudy Ricciotti - Roland Carta
