Musée d’Archéologie Méditerranéenne is located at 2 Rue de la Charité, 13002 Marseille, on the first floor of the historic Vieille Charité complex in the heart of Le Panier, the city's oldest neighborhood and original Greek settlement site from 600 BC.

Nearby attractions include the Musée des Arts Africains, Océaniens et Amérindiens on the second floor, the vibrant Panier district's narrow streets with street art and cafés, and footbridge access to MuCEM and Fort Saint-Jean across the harbor, immersing visitors in Marseille's ancient maritime heritage.
