Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art

The Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is a gallery space in Rabat that displays contemporary works across several exhibition rooms. The building blends Moroccan architectural language with modern design, creating an environment where traditional forms and current artistic practice interact.

The museum opened in 2014 as a turning point in Morocco's museum development following the country's independence decades earlier. It was established to showcase and preserve contemporary art according to international standards.

The collection showcases artists whose work shapes how Moroccan creativity is expressed today across different periods and movements. Visitors can trace how local artistic traditions have evolved and found new forms of expression.

The museum opens Wednesday through Monday for visitors to explore the exhibition spaces at their own pace. It helps to allow enough time for the various galleries and to take advantage of any informational materials provided.

The building's exterior displays patterns rooted in Moorish-Arab architectural traditions that reflect local craft heritage. Behind this facade lies advanced climate technology designed to protect the artworks, showing how contemporary systems work within the language of local design.
