MuCEM

MuCEM (Musée des civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée) will be launched in 2013 in Marseille, the year the city will be European Capital of Culture. MuCEM will be the first museum in the world dedicated to the cultures of the Mediterranean, and with a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, it will offer a fresh perspective on Mediterranean cultures.

The institution will be split across three sites:

Two for exhibition activities, centralised around Fort Saint-Jean (historical monument dating from the twelfth century, its construction was finished during the reign of Louis XIV) and Pier J4 (where a new building will be built).
The Centre of Conservation and Resources (CCR) at Belle de Mai, which will be used for conservation and documentation. It will be open to the public, and should allow maximum and easy access to the collections and information.

The Virtual Museum of Writing (VMoW) is focused on matters central to the historical and theoretical understanding of writing from its invention to the present. The VMoW showcases materials from the Museum of Writing housed at the Senate House Library at the University of London. The online environment will provide interpretative exhibits and an interface for browsing the Museum’s collections as digital images and descriptive records while pointing to the existence of the analogue artifacts available for more advanced research.

The Museum’s mission extends to the history of books, scripts, notation systems, and materials for their production. Its research and educational mission also includes attention to basic questions of literacy and communication in their many cultural dimensions.

The Museum of Writing is supported by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, and by the University of California, Los Angeles.
