The Marseille Soap Museum 🗺️

#2024wish I had an enjoyable and curious time at The Marseille Soap Museum just a while ago! 🧼💫 With only €6, I entered the world of soap’s history and it was an olfactory treat. #soapmuseum #marseillemagic Hidden in the Panier neighborhood, atypical museum takes you on a tour of traditional soap-making. The nostalgic gear, fragrant dispalys and the live soap making showcase put you in middle of all things Marseille soaps. 🌿🛁 Do not forget the olive oil soap section - Marseille soap’s very soul. The true smells and the textures give a feeling of attachment to olden times. 🌿🫒 After the museum, stroll through Le Panier’s quaint streets. The hip and artsy neighborhood makes for an ideal after-soap discovery. The bohemian feeling of the neighborhood is enhanced by local cafes and boutiques. 🎨🍽️ Close by is the MuCEM, a modern architectural feat and one that provides contemporary contrast to traditional wear offered within this museum. 🏛️🌊 Soap lovers find heaven in the museum gift shop. It is an aromatic treasure, from artisanal soaps to olive oil based skincare products. The staff’s enthusiasm for soap-making humanizes the store. 🤗 The Marseille Soap Museum is a truly interesting place to visit regardless of whether you are interested in history, crafts or just smell. The low admission price, pleasant journey of aroma and close-by attractions make it a mandatory visit in Marseille! #soaphistory #lepaniercharm
