While there are some microenvironments that escape, most of this structure is impossible to photograph because the walls are covered with the "art" for sale. When I was there, all modern art, and not particularly well done. Definitely detracts from the beauty of the building. more

It took us soo long to find this museum as we had been given the wrong directions and when we did get to the musuem it wasnt impressive at all!

Took us a bit of time to find this from the souqs, but glad we did. The musee is a restored 19th century riad and has stunning examples of zellij tile work. The musee houses art displays, which you can buy, as well as historic artefacts from Marrakech's history. The centrepiece is the huge covered courtyard, which has traditional wroght... more
