Marrakesh Museum

Fabulous nineteenth-century mansion - متحف مراكش

Don't go into the Marrakesh Museum expecting extensive displays of historical artifacts or archeological finds. Do however expect to see a fabulous nineteenth-century palace that's much more interesting than its exhibits.

The palace belonged to Mehdi Mnebhi, who was Morocco's defence minister at the end of the nineteenth century. It was restored and opened as a museum in 1997.

The main atrium is absolutely beautiful, with a little fountain in the middle, a huge brass chandelier over it, and lots of great zellij tilework, stucco and finely painted woodwork.
