Plage des Catalans

This guide to Plage des Catalans in Marseille introduces the underwater museum sitting five meters down, a hundred meters offshore, its first sculptures lowered in October 2020 after years of delayed permits. It follows Bruno Catalano's bronze travelers, gapped as if a suitcase carried off half the body, among works by Christophe Charbonnel and Davide Galbiati. You'll hear how marine scientists are tracking algae and coral colonizing the bronze and concrete over a fifteen-year study. Bring a snorkel mask for the marked trail, open June through September.
