Hassan II Mosque Museum
The Hassan II Mosque Museum is an exhibition space within the Hassan II Mosque complex in Casablanca that displays artifacts from the building's construction. It presents samples of tilework, marble craftsmanship, carved elements, and metalwork that were created during the mosque's development.
The museum opened in 2012 to showcase the craftsmanship and materials used in building the nearby mosque. The mosque itself was completed in 1993 as a major project sponsored by King Mohammed VI.
The museum is part of the Hassan II Mosque complex and displays how traditional Moroccan craftsmanship traditions shape religious spaces. The exhibits of tilework, carved details, and metalwork show how local artistic practices remain active in the creation of sacred architecture.
The museum is free to enter and can be visited independently of prayer times, allowing for flexible scheduling. Visitors should wear modest clothing and show respectful behavior, and guided tours are often available to provide deeper context about the displays.
The museum houses actual craft samples that master artisans presented to the king during construction before these pieces were integrated into the finished mosque. These original samples let visitors see how future elements of the mosque were planned and approved in advance.
