Description

Besides Paris, Marseille is the only place in France where you can visit a museum that is dedicated to African arts, along with significant works of art from Oceania and the Americas. The MAAOA offers a rich collection of objects that are culturally significant and important pieces.
The Museum of African, Oceanian and Amerindian Arts of Marseille is an exception! Private collections, donations and acquisitions have made up a remarkable collection displayed in the rooms of the Vieille Charité. The exhibition explores ancient or extinct civilizations through thousands of pieces. Ritual and daily objects or works of art? The perception oscillates around this narrow border...
