Azilal museum

Azilal Museum is a regional museum in Azilal, Morocco, presenting a collection of artifacts, traditional tools, and handmade items from the High Atlas Mountains region. The objects come from local artisans and show the craftsmanship practices of mountain communities.

The museum documents the development of trade routes that passed through Azilal, connecting different regions of Morocco. These routes allowed the exchange of goods and ideas between mountain areas and surrounding regions over many centuries.

The exhibits display Berber textiles, pottery, and woodwork from artisans living in the surrounding mountain villages. These objects reflect the skills and daily practices of people who have maintained these crafts across generations.

The museum sits near the center of Azilal and is open Tuesday through Sunday. Visitors should allow time to view the collections carefully and can ask staff for explanations about specific items on display.

The building itself uses local construction techniques and materials that match the traditional houses of the Atlas region. The architecture becomes part of the exhibition and shows how mountain residents shaped their own surroundings.
