The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Marseille is a true gem for art enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. As someone deeply connected to the world of art, my visit to this museum was nothing short of inspiring. From the moment I stepped through its doors, I was enveloped in a world of creativity and expression, surrounded by masterpieces that spoke to the soul. The museum's extensive collection, featuring works by esteemed artists such as Pierre Puget, Eugène Delacroix, and Gustave Courbet, offers a rich tapestry of artistic brilliance spanning various periods and styles. Each brushstroke, each sculpture, tells a story of passion, skill, and vision, forging a deep connection with the viewer. Exploring the museum's galleries, I found myself immersed in a dialogue with art, each piece stirring emotions and igniting my imagination. From classical masterpieces to contemporary creations, the museum's diverse exhibitions showcase the breadth and depth of human creativity, reminding me of the universal language that transcends time and culture. In conclusion, my visit to the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Marseille was not just a journey through art history, but a profound experience that resonated with my own artistic sensibilities. It's a place where passion meets creativity, and where the spirit of art comes alive, leaving an indelible mark on the heart and mind of every visitor.

On saturday our first day in Maseille we discovered this place and wanted to just roam around but the curator for a free music program invited us for the party at night. So afterr taking a couple of hours walk around the city we came back and danced and had fun to the sounds of Rumba De Boda. The next day (today) was the first sunday of the month so we were able to visit both museum of fine arts and natural history for free. I cannot really express how many art pieces sunned there. Inspiring for my own work. Tickets are normally 45 for fine arts museo and 3 for natural story. Today s also the last day of national geography's photo exhibition above the museum of natural history. Outside peripheries Are magnificent and exceptional in many ways. The architecture is not "unique" in the sense that it seems like greek inspired baroque style but the layout is impressive from every side you see it. It is a hub that attracts people of the community from.all age groups. Certainly recommend pending a few hours here at least.

Il est très plaisant de se balader au sein des différents espaces qui composent ce musée. La grandeur des salles pourrait donner lieu à un mauvais aménagement, hors la scénographie est loin d’être mauvaise. La circulation est intéressante, la luminosité est suffisante, les murs colorés sont parfaits pour rendre justice aux œuvres. C’est un musée qu’en tant que marseillais je conseille de visiter, non pas pour se dire qu’on l’a fait au moins une fois et passer ensuite à autre chose, mais pour avoir un véritable aperçu des artistes et des paysages de Marseille et ses alentours à travers le temps. Ce n’est pas qu’un musée exposant les prouesses de peintres, c’est avant tout un voyage avant la photographie. La multitude d’œuvres exposées pourrait être un problème, or ça ne l’est pas! Les compositions sont très intéressantes et c’est un plaisir de laisser son regard passer d’une œuvre à l’autre sans incompréhension. Tout est cohérent! Le seul bémol que j’ai, mais ça c’est une remarque que je fais en tant que professionnel, et parce que je suis un tout petit peu exigeant sur les détails: certains cartouches n’ont pas été imprimés sur le même support, avec les mêmes encres, et avec les mêmes typographies. Cela donne à certains encarts une véritable apparence délavée, comme s’ils avaient été brûlés par la lumière, et donne aussi un sentiment de fait à la va vite sur une imprimante de bureau. De plus, certains lettrages descriptifs sur les murs se décollent, ce qui donnent un aspect un peu abandonné. C’est un poil dommage, mais heureusement cela ne gâche pas la qualité globale du musée. Bravo!

Very beautiful museum, I had a great time here. I was a little confused on how the lockers work, and it turns out you need to insert a 1 euro coin (which you get back). I didn't have coins, so I asked the people selling tickets, and they provided me with one. Also, people speak English here (at least the security guard did), which is always a bonus. The park behind the museum is also worth a visit, though if you're going by metro you won't miss it since it's the fastest way to get to the museum.

I really enjoyed the exhibit of swim fashions – – there are some really playful costumes here. This museum houses an extraordinary collection of porcelain and antique glass, which might be a snooze for some visitors but I found it fascinating. The delicacy in artistry displayed is abundant. The museum itself is quite impressive— be sure to tour the antique rooms here.

Small art museum in a beautiful building with some tasteful works. I particularly appreciated the giant, wall-sized paintings of Marseille during the plague with many interesting details (only one that showed people wearing masks). There were a number of Ruben paintings... I'm not sure I have the eye to appreciate them myself.
