Striking architecture of MuCEM in the Fort St Jean part of Marseilles, France
Marseilles, France - 20 June 2013; no people in view. The Old Fort Saint-Jean area of Marseilles, France is characterised by strong architectural contrasts; here we see the ultra modern MuCEM Museum (Museum of the Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean), connected by elevated walkway to the historic Fort Saint Jean on the left. MuCEM is a national museum inaugurated in June 2013 as part of Marseille-Provence 2013, a year when Marseille was designated as the European Capital of Culture. Here we see its striking metallic facade facing the Harbour. Built of stone, water and wind, MuChem was designed by the the architects Rudy Ricciotti and Roland Carta.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the striking architecture of MuCEM in the Fort St Jean part of Marseilles, France. With no people in view, the image allows us to fully appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of this structure. The Old Fort Saint-Jean area is known for its strong architectural contrasts, and here we witness a fascinating juxtaposition between history and modernity. On the left, we see the historic Fort Saint Jean connected to the ultra-modern MuCEM Museum by an elevated walkway. MuCEM, which stands for Museum of the Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean, is a national museum that was inaugurated in June 2013 as part of Marseille-Provence 2013 when Marseille held the title of European Capital of Culture. Designed by architects Rudy Ricciotti and Roland Carta, MuCEM's metallic facade facing the harbor is truly eye-catching. The photo was taken from a public area facing across the bay towards MuCEM. The clear blue sky serves as a perfect backdrop for this abstract composition featuring shadows and contrasting elements. The geometric patterns on MuCEM's wall create an intricate interlocking cube-like design that adds depth to its overall appearance. This photograph not only captures an iconic landmark but also reflects Marseille's vibrant city life and rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers to explore both old-world charm and contemporary innovation while appreciating artistry in architecture.
