Connected by a 115 m long footbridge to the contemporary building designed by the architect Rudy Rucciotti, the fort hosts exhibitions throughout the year and, on sunny days, outdoor cultural events (shows, projections on big screens, concerts, festivals…). It also offers a route through a Mediterranean garden, a restaurant and a bookshop.
Free access to the landscaped outdoor spaces allows visitors to walk around and take possession of the Fort, which becomes a real place to live.
The second 70 m long footbridge which connects it to the Panier district thus ensures continuity in the urban and tourist route between the oldest part of the city and the new J4 district. By its geographical location and its history, Fort Saint-Jean constitutes a real junction point between the city and the museum, between history and its contemporary setting.
Fort Saint-Jean is a military complex inseparable from the history of Marseille. If its foundations date back to the end of the 12th century, the construction of the fort on the site of the former commandery of Saint John of Jerusalem dates from the 17th century, when Louis XIV decided to strengthen the defenses of the city. The fort then retains a military vocation for more than three centuries. Serving as a German munitions depot during the war, it was badly damaged by an accidental explosion in 1944. Classified as a historic monument in 1964, it was placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture. Restoration work began in 2010 as part of the opening of Mucem.
