Project Overview
Venue: MUCEM — Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations
Floral Scenography & Artistic Direction: Candice Nguyen
Location: Marseille, France
Immersive floral scenography for the MUCEM
Marseille, France
Created for a private event at the MUCEM in Marseille, this floral scenography was conceived in dialogue with one of the museum’s most remarkable features: its architecture and panoramic views over the Mediterranean.
Rather than filling the space with flowers, each installation was carefully positioned to reveal the site’s natural perspectives, creating a visual journey from the entrance to the rooftop.
Inspired by Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, the floral palette combined calla lilies, anthuriums and sculptural foliage in deep shades of ivory, burgundy and crimson, echoing the museum’s mineral architecture and the surrounding sea.

Theses sketches do not document the project. They explore an intention, a rhythm, and the relationship between architecture, light and florals.
