    ★★★★★a year ago

    Bellissimo centro di arte contemporanea a Marsiglia. L'architettura di Kengo Kuma interessante e innovativa. All'interno uno staff molto gentile accoglie il visitatore. Gli spazi ben congegnati e distribuiti su più livelli con anche una bella terrazza panoramica. Mostre interessanti per un luogo di cultura dove prendersi il proprio tempo.
