Villa des Arts de Casablanca, Contemporary art museum in Casablanca, Morocco.
Villa des Arts de Casablanca is an art museum housed in a 1934 building and displays paintings, sculptures, installations, and photographs by Moroccan and international artists. The building features geometric lines and bright surfaces on its exterior, while its interiors are arranged to showcase contemporary work across multiple galleries.
The building was constructed in 1934 and belongs to Morocco's colonial-era architecture, but the museum itself was founded in 1999. The conversion preserved the original structure while combining the historic facade with modern exhibition spaces.
The building belongs to an era when Casablanca was rapidly modernizing, and the artworks show the connection between local and international creators. Visitors can observe how Moroccan artistic forms blend with modern techniques and global influences.
The museum is located in central Casablanca and is typically open during daytime hours. Arriving early or visiting during quieter moments helps you view the artworks without crowding.
The museum has a sister location in Rabat and allows visitors to explore both spaces virtually, even when unable to travel there in person. This digital extension makes the collection available to a much wider audience.
