Musée Mer marine, Maritime museum in Bordeaux, France.
The Musée Mer Marine is a seven-story building in Bordeaux displaying exhibitions about maritime history, art, and ocean science. The spaces showcase ship models, historical navigation instruments, and contemporary artworks side by side.
The museum opened in 2019 and honors the maritime past of Bordeaux, which served as a major European trading port for centuries. The Garonne River was key to connecting the city with global trade routes.
The museum explores how people have always connected with the ocean through ship models, artworks, and maritime objects that show the sea's role in human life.
The museum is located in Bordeaux' historic port district and opens Tuesday through Sunday. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the different floors and exhibitions at a comfortable pace.
The museum houses a collection of fossilized fish from Lebanon's Cretaceous period that are over 100 million years old. This is the first time such fossils have been displayed in France.
