An interesting visit, but not a memorable one!
1) the architecture of the museum, which I had wanted to discover for a long time...
2) the exhibition on the treasures of the collections, which didn't thrill me at first (I often prefer to walk around a museum and discover things at my own pace) but I liked the concept and the way it was staged
3) the "le grand mezzé" exhibition, and in particular everything to do with Mediterranean culinary culture and the history of the diet, which I didn't know anything about

Air conditioning !!!!!
The exhibitions are really well presented, especially BRAVALO, a touching exhibition that reconciles us with travellers. You always have to know foreigners to love them. Bravo for an exhibition that achieves its goal.
Less convinced by the roof terrace because of the heatwave, it's terribly lacking in shade.
