La Vieille Charité Museum

Created in the 17th Century in the heart of the historical Panier district by the Marseilles sculptor Pierre Puget, it is a chef d'œuvre of baroque architecture. An ancient hospice, it is composed of a square area with arcades that surround a chapel with a beautiful dome. It includes two museums, the Museum of Mediterranean Archaeology that holds the second collection of Egyptian arts, after that of the Louvre Museum in Paris, and the Museum of African, South Seas and American Indian arts.
