Marrakech Museum in the Mehdi Mnebhi Palace

About the museum

In 1997, the building was purchased by the Omar Benjelloun Foundation in order to restore and open the Marrakech Museum in part of the palace. Initially, the palace was the residence of the Minister of War of Sultan Mulai Abdelaziz - Mehdi al-Mnebhi, and in the 1960s it housed a school for girls.

Some of the most interesting places of the palace are the courtyard with a magnificent lamp and the rooms around the traditional courtyard. These rooms contain a museum collection consisting mainly of weapons, ceramics and other traditional Moroccan objects.

The museum is divided into two sections: the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. The permanent collection includes many artifacts from the region's past, including ceramics, jewelry and weapons. These exhibits are displayed in such a way that visitors can better understand the history and culture of the region. Temporary exhibitions are often more modern and focus on topics such as contemporary art, photography and fashion.

The museum also hosts various events throughout the year. They include lectures, workshops and film screenings. The museum also offers guided tours of the exhibits, which are a great way to learn more about the history and culture of the region.
