FRAC Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is Marseille's regional contemporary art collection, housed in a striking building near the Joliette and Euroméditerranée redevelopment area. It adds a sharp, current-art edge to a city better known for the Vieux-Port, churches, markets, and the MuCEM.
The exhibitions change, so check the programme before going. When the show is strong, FRAC pairs well with a walk through modern Marseille: docks, new architecture, cultural institutions, and the older city pushing up against them.
