Museums in Marrakesh

The Musée Tiskiwin houses Dutch anthropologist Bert Flint's collection of artefacts along the trans-Saharan trade routes from Marrakesh to Timbuktu. Each room represents a stage of the journey.

The Musée de Marrakech occupies the Dar Menebhi, a grand late 19th-century palace. Its central courtyard is crowned by an enormous chandelier, and galleries display Moroccan ceramics, textiles, weapons, and contemporary art.

The Museum of Confluences (Dar El Bacha) occupies a grand palace built by the legendary Pasha Thami El Glaoui. It explores Moroccan culture through the lens of coffee, trade, ritual, and art.

A purpose-built museum by Studio KO, opened in 2017 to celebrate YSL's four-decade love affair with Morocco. The terracotta-and-concrete building holds rotating haute couture exhibitions.

Dar Si Said (National Museum of Weaving and Carpets) occupies a 19th-century palace built by Si Said. The collection showcases Moroccan textiles, Berber jewellery, carved woodwork, and rural artefacts.

Houses over 10,000 vintage photographs documenting Moroccan life from 1870 to 1960 in a restored medina riad.

MACMA focuses on Orientalist paintings and contemporary Moroccan art, bridging the colonial gaze of 19th-century European painters with modern Moroccan artistic identity.
