The 10th Anniversary of the MUCEM

From June 2, 2023, to June 2, 2024, the MUCEM (Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean) is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a series of exceptional events. The anniversary year will feature 10 key moments, offering a varied and rich program: grand celebrations, exclusive exhibitions, moments of sharing and reflection. These events, much like the museum itself, are designed to highlight the diversity and ambition of this cultural space. These 10 significant events will complement the museum's regular programming and will be the major highlights of the year, inviting the public to gather and celebrate this decade while also contributing to the creation of the next 10 years to come.

The MUCEM, located in Marseille, is a national museum of great significance, not only due to its strategic location between Europe and the Mediterranean but also because of its commitment to exploring the diversity of civilizations that have shaped this region. The museum serves as a true crossroads of knowledge, dedicated to the cultural anthropology of European and Mediterranean societies. Its permanent exhibitions cover various scientific fields such as anthropology, archaeology, history, art history, and contemporary art. These exhibitions aim to tell the story of the historical and social continuities of this vast civilizational basin, while analyzing the tensions and challenges that have shaped it and continue to influence it today.

One of the MUCEM's main goals is to showcase the richness and complexity of Mediterranean history, while also opening discussions on contemporary issues. It also hosts temporary exhibitions, often related to current artistic or social affairs, making it a dynamic space that remains in tune with the times.

For this year of celebrations, the MUCEM has enlisted experts in lighting and sound installations, such as iDzia, who regularly contributes to creating immersive atmospheres for parties, private events, and exhibitions. With its expertise, iDzia has successfully enhanced the architecture and ambiance of the MUCEM, adding subtle lighting and sound installations that highlight both the history and the modernity of the venue. These interventions provide visitors with unique experiences while accentuating the sensory and immersive aspects of each event.
