IDEALLY LOCATED ON THE VIEUX-PORT, SAVONNERIE DE LA LICORNE’S MARSEILLE SOAP MUSEUM WELCOMES YOU AT THE HEART OF A HISTORIC SITE AND WITHIN, THE OLD GALLEY ARSENAL BUILT BY LOUIS XIV. Even today, one can still get a feel of the places in the region where the soap museum’s white stone and wooden beams come from. our museum opens the doors to the history of soap, from prehistory to the present, thanks to its frescoes, artworks, documents, objects and rare pieces. Enjoy our interactive museum with its own “sense of smell space” and our Marseille soap manufacturing demonstration workshop where you can create your very own personalized soap. Come to this famous leisure spot for a solo visit or with family, children or in a group. complement your new found knowledge about soap with a visit to the soap museum shop to check out our hundreds of soap products and our entire range of genuine marseille soaps.
Entrance to the museum costs only €2 each and although the museum is small it is very interesting. There is a stand with a “guess the smell” game which is more fun than it sounds! For €5 you can cut and stamp your own soap. The museum includes a seeing how soap is made from beginning to end. I would recommend this to anyone. The icing on the cake is that entrance includes a token for a free bar of soap in their shop next door!
