[mac] Musee d'art contemporain de la Ville de Marseille

This guide to the mac, Marseille's contemporary art museum, opens with a 2024 exhibition that hung boxing and sprinting alongside classical battle scenes during the Paris Olympics, part of a three-museum relay across the city, curated by Jean-Marc Huitorel. It traces the building's odd origins as a private gallery a German collector, Gustav Rau, built in the late 1970s and then gave away, which Marseille accepted in 1992. Its nine identical bays, half factory and half palace, were designed to be endlessly rearranged.
