Musée d’Arts Africains, Océaniens et Amérindiens — Attraction in Marseille

Interesting collection, not huge but it’s free so worth visiting. You just have to ask for a ticket at the desk. The Mexican art was the most interesting to me - a vast collection of masks.

Plus the toilets...

Meraviglioso! Il museo si trova nella ville de chiarite ed è composto da 3 stanze che occupano l'intero secondo piano. Ci si trova una raccolta etnologica variegata di reperti africani, messicani e dell'Oceania. Il museo da dignità alle altre culture lontane dal nostro stile occidentale, elevando l'arte popolare autoctona di quei luoghi a modello culturale di pari grado e mostrando le influenze e le interconnessioni con la nostra cultura. Molto molto interessante!! Una vera boccata d'aria...
