The Palais Longchamp towers over Marseille. The beautiful Building houses the Natural History Museum in the right wing and the "Musée des Beaux-Arts" in the left wing.
The marble dealer Jules Cantini bequeathed this fine art museum to the city of Marseille with works of Picasso, Max Ernst, Kandinsky, Jean Arp and other distinguished artists from the early to mid-20th century.
An international collection and interesting exhibitions make the museum of contemporary art an exciting destination. The museum with a small garden is close to the famous "Parc Borély".
