Musée Mer Marine (MMM) Museums in Bordeaux

The Bordeaux Sea Marine Museum is a major cultural institution dedicated to exploring the links between man, the sea and the maritime world, from its history to its future.

Opened in 2019, it is the work of Norbert Fradin, a passionate collector, who wanted to share an exceptional heritage with the general public. The museum is housed in an emblematic 13,000 m² building at Bassins à Flot, designed by the architect Olivier Brochet. It offers a vast permanent tour that traces the history of navigation, the evolution of the oceans and the richness of marine life, mixing models, navigation instruments, works of art and interactive exhibitions. The originality of the MMM lies in its ability to simultaneously address the themes of the sea and the navy, thus offering a global and unique perspective.

Beyond its permanent collection, the Musée Mer Marine is a dynamic place of animation and discovery, regularly hosting high-quality temporary exhibitions, conferences and cultural events. These exhibitions cover a variety of subjects, ranging from art to marine ecology, including historical and scientific themes. The museum also aims to be a space for raising awareness of the challenges of protecting the oceans, inviting visitors to become aware of the fragility of this vital environment. It is a must-see for maritime history enthusiasts, sea enthusiasts and anyone who wants to learn more about our blue planet.
