MUCEM
This family's experience:

Activities: We discovered the MuCEM, Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean, in Marseille. The heart of the museum is easily recognizable with its structure of glass set in a concrete lace. We visited the temporary exhibition "The World in Reverse, Carnivals and Masquerades of Europe and the Mediterranean"

Highlights: The children were very receptive to costumes, masks, and video screens. The masks and costumes were magnificent and took us to an imaginary world, with different rituals. "The girls discovered masks and costumes made from various materials: papier-mâché, animal skins, feathers, wood, straw, fabrics and fabrics…" ✨
