Museum housing the remains of a remarkable Roman commercial warehouse, evoking the importance of Marseille's port activity.

The Museum of the Roman Docks houses the remains in place of one of the only surviving Roman commercial warehouses in the world. Designed as a documentation centre for ancient trade, it recalls the intense port activity from the 6th century BC onwards. Several objects from shipwrecks are on display: amphorae, deck fittings, everyday objects, etc. This site, discovered in 1947 during the reconstruction of the eastern quarter, along with the garden of remains, is the most striking testimony to the ancient grandeur of the port of Marseille.

Petit musée gratuit, y aller ne serait-ce que pour se rendre compte de la taille des énormes amphores employées pour transporter les marchandises ! Employée moyennement aimable, dommage.

Des entrepôts romains au coeur de la ville
Ce musée est vraiment impressionnant. On y trouve des entrepôts romains très bien conservés au coeur de la ville de Marseille.

C'est surement un musée rare car c'est pas tous les jours que l'on peut observer des vases antiques servant à conserver l'huile ou le vin au même endroit que le faisait les romains. Toutefois, le musée est vieillot, il manque cruellement de son, d'ambiance, d'image de synthèse recréant l’atmosphère de l'époque ou je ne sais quelle effets modernes pour redonner vie à un lieu historique.
Si je suis entrée c'est parce que je passais dans le quartier et que c'était gratuit.

Très intéressant musée pour découvrir l'histoire et l'évolution de Marseille, de sa fondation à l'époque récente.
Bonne présentation des objets et de leur place par époque.
