A very interesting museum that had an exhibits involving essentially the entire cultural history of Morocco. There’s also a replica of the water clock which I wasn’t able to see the original version of due to construction which was cool. Lots of architectural carvings and ancient artisanal goods on display. The most interesting exhibit though was on the mathematical and timekeeping instruments. Definitely one of the most comprehensive museums in Fes and probably the best overall in my opinion. There’s also a beautiful garden in the center of the museum that you get to go in and out of as you go through the museum.
Museum of Islamic art ❤️ The museum is wonderful from the inside. There is a large garden that covers half of the museum’s area, which creates a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Inside, you can find many valuable antiques, traditional clothes finely sewn with gold, beautiful carpets, and rare manuscripts that reflect the rich history of the place. The museum also displays various weapons and silver swords that show the craftsmanship of ancient times. One of the most important and impressive pieces is the decorated copper astrolabe. The environment is very peaceful and relaxing, and I really enjoyed the visit. . . .
Great museum! Quite extensive coverage of historical details + building itself. What to watch out: - it is not a typical ‘Arts’ museum. There are no arts per se. I’d call it history & anthropology - insanely beautiful building! Pure joy looking at zellige’s and the wooden work - ISIC students get a free exit! - normal price is 60 MAD
A newly renovated and refurbished museum in Fez. Entry costs 60 MAD for Foreigners & 30 MAD for Moroccan Residents. A Serene & picturesque garden welcomes you as you enter as well as a beautiful architectural design to the surrounding building. The museum houses different artifacts such as Art, Clothing, Weaponry & Manuscripts on different disciplines. A must go for local history lovers.
An excellent museum housed in a former palace. It is quiet and well curated with exhibits helping visitors understand the history of Morocco and Islam. There are sections of the museum dedicated to traditional arts also like ceramics, textiles, and woodworking. The garden area is lovely and relaxing.
