From Greco-Latin antiquity through the colonial period to the present day, this exhibition plunges us into the history of the plural and fantasized “Mediterranean”.

This permanent exhibition is divided into several episodes, each of which will renew its presentation until 2030: “Méditerranées” will be regularly enriched with new masterpieces from the history of art, new treasures from the collections and new rare pieces, recently acquired or on loan, opening up new paths and new horizons for embracing the Mediterranean. Indeed, the imaginations of the Mediterranean are manifold, and not all of them can be shown in a single exhibition. “Mediterranees” examines the ways in which these imaginations have been formed and disseminated, and in particular the role of museums, by discovering how art history and ethnology have contributed to creating “images” of the Mediterranean, all relative and all constructed.
