For the first time, the State is promoting the creation of a national museum outside the capital. In rehabilitating the historic site of Fort Saint-Jean, entrusting to Rudy Ricciotti the construction of a new building on the J4 pier facing the sea and providing a Centre for Conservation and Resources designed by Corinne Vezzoni in the Belle de Mai district, the Ministry of Culture has given birth to one of the most beautiful museum complexes in France. Marseille is the European Capital of Culture throughout the year 2013. Cultural programming of exceptional depth and appeal is already generating exceptional visitor turnout. The creation of the MuCEM is a defining element of this capital year, and well beyond 2013, the MuCEM will contribute to showcasing Marseille and its region. Marseille welcomes a museum designed in its own image: cleaved to the north shore of the Mediterranean, gazing out over the open sea, open to the winds of ideas. More Partner Institutions: than a museum, a cultural city, drawing on all the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences, mobilizing the artistic expressions of both shores of the Mediterranean. A new way of regarding the Mediterranean as a space for openness and sharing, for envisioning a common history and the dialogue of civilisations, for clarifying the issues, giving depth of field to contemporary phenomena, and shaping a new public space.

  • Press Kit: VINCI, the Art of Museums
    PRESS KIT VINCI, the art of museums Press kit /// VINCI, the art of museums /// June 2013 1 Introduction The Museum concept was first introduced in Europe, primarily in France, at the end of the 18th century for reasons that originally had nothing to do with economics or urban amenity. Until the 1950s, the purpose of the museum was exclusively conservation, in a continuation of the 19th century tradition of private collections. The real museum revolution originated primarily in the United States, where Peggy Guggenheim laid the foundations for the 20th century museum industry, and was also driven by democratisation and the development of cultural industries in Europe. Today, the number, role and visibility of these institutions have undergone radical change. No longer exclusively focused on conservation, the museum has become a flagship institution that lends resonance to the community. Cultural activities create economic value and give cities momentum. Culture also promotes social inclusion when approached as a way to improve "living together". The museum is now seen as an urban landmark and a driver of urban life. With its innovative and bold architecture, the museum is often a work of art in its own right. Building or renovating a museum is therefore a high profile but complex operation. The success of such projects requires broad vision, acknowledged capabilities in advanced technology engineering, sophisticated resources, flawless coordination and total commitment to managing people. On the strength of these qualities, VINCI companies regularly work on exceptional museum projects around the world. Their design, building, network and maintenance expertise makes all the difference in the demanding museum market.
