Marseille – The exhibition "Tattoo. Histories of the Mediterranean", held at the Vieille Charité museum in Marseille’s historic Panier district, invites visitors on a journey through the art and tradition of tattooing – from antiquity to the present day. Highlighting Marseille’s deep-rooted connection to tattoo culture, the exhibition also shows the rich and diverse tattoo heritage of North Africa.
The exhibition brings together 275 objects and works of art from across the Mediterranean region, loaned by more than 70 French and international institutions such as the Quai Branly Museum in Paris, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Glyptothek in Munich, and the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in Kyiv.
