Marrakech Museum, Cultural museum in Medina of Marrakesh, Morocco.
The Marrakech Museum sits inside a 19th-century palace with traditional Moroccan design, featuring intricate tilework, carved cedar ceilings, and ornate decorations throughout its rooms. The collection includes traditional objects, coins, weapons, and contemporary art displayed in rotating exhibitions.
The museum was founded in 1990 inside the former Mnebhi Palace, which served as the residence of Defense Minister Mehdi Mnebhi in the early 20th century. The palace was preserved and later converted into a public exhibition space.
The collection displays traditional Moroccan crafts such as ceramics, textiles, and calligraphy that reflect daily life and local artisan practices. You can see how these objects connect to the crafts still made and used throughout the city today.
The museum is within walking distance of Jemaa el-Fnaa square and easy to reach from the city center. Guided tours in multiple languages are available daily to help visitors understand the objects and palace better.
The central courtyard holds a large chandelier hanging above a fountain, with natural light streaming through a glass roof. This interplay of water, light, and classic architecture creates a calm spot in the heart of the bustling medina.
