- Soudamini MBengaluru, India1,577 contributionsNice Museum of Wooden ArtThe museum is inside Fes Medina, takes about 30 minutes to see the whole place. This was a place was designed to be used by trades, a place to store their goods. The wooden exhibits are quite interesting.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 31, 2024
- Carbo1960Belgrade, Serbia428 contributionsNot to be missed!Definitely worth an hour or so of your time, both for the sake of the beautifully renovated building and of the museum itself, giving a complete overview of Moroccan woodworking craftmanship - from the wood, used utensils to the finished products, all grouped by type and intended use. Captions available in Arabic, French and English. The light in the exposition rooms is dim. Officially, you are allowed to make the photos inside the building, but not of exposed objects. The rooftop cafe offers a good spot to rest.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 27, 2024
- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand4,443 contributionsExquisite woodwork on display!The "Wood Museum" was originally a traditional funduq (caravanserai). It has beautiful tiled fountain outside at the entrance. Inside, the building is centered around a main rectangular courtyard, surrounded by a three-story structure, each with different rooms. There is lots of intricately carved woodwork throughout. The ground floor rooms were used to store merchandise (now museum displays), while the upper floors were for overstaying guests. If you appreciate fine woodwork and carvings, this is a great place to visit.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 18, 2024

Stumbled upon this museum. Inexpensive to enter and a beautiful sanctuary inside the Medinah, with a lovely rooftop with great views. The interior of the structure is gorgeous and the displays of wood carved items and the materials used to make them were really interesting. I spent about an hour.

Already for the architecture of this restored old Riad, a formerly royal Palais really, it is worth a visit. Tastefully done, it houses an instructive museum of admirable woodwork handicraft. Nice little Café on the roof.

We visited a few days before the country shut down due to COVID-19. There were still a lot of people in the Medina, but a lot of the attractions had very few visitors. The Museo Nejjarine was empty of people except for our group of ten women.
A beautiful place to visit and it's almost spiritual when you can take it all in, in a quiet environment.

Al Nejjarine Museum was very cool with tools, guitars, and all types of wooden things and lovely craftmanship. Located in the Medina, this is another oasis in a sea of chaos. Worth making the time for this.

Our whole group loved this museum. The building was beautiful. Items were well displayed and signs were well written in English, French, and Arabic. My kids loves reading and learning, and they went through this museum at their own pace.
The woodworking artistry displayed here is amazing! The building itself is also gorgeous. This was a nice, cool, quiet oasis after feeling a bit frazzled from the medina.
20 dh to enter, 10dh for refreshments at the cafe on the rooftop.

The building is an old 18th century abode that is located in the Nejjarine square or carpenters square within the Medina of Fez. A great restoration of the building has been done with a spectacular interior in cedar wood. Just to see the building and take some pictures it is worth paying the entrance of 20 dinars (2€). You can go upstairs and on the last there is a terrace. Inside the building there is an exhibition of wooden utensils in what were the rooms of the fonda. Highly recommended visit

Probably the best was to spend 20 dirham within Fes medina, certainly more interesting than a Medrasa! It's a very nice building, split over several floors and with a pleasant roof top terrace affording views across the city. The exhibits are quite interesting and well presented and displayed, although they aren't necessarily the oldest or most exotic.
A good diversion from shopping in the souks!

This museum is hosted in an old hostel which is a beautiful and interesting building.
The content is well laid out, essentially dealing with wood, objects made out of wood and tools used to produce them. Some of the creations are used for milestone ceremonies such as weddings and were beautiful.
There's a cafe at the terrasse which is a nice spot for a quick break (no meals served)

Built in an old caravan or travellers lodge this museum displays local crafted woodwork from the 14th century onwards. You can see wooden doors, furniture, chests, musical instruments and the tools used to make some of them, all dating from 14th to 18th century. The descriptions of the items on display are in English but are quite simplistic. The museum is spread out over two floors with a small café on the roof terrace. There are great views over the medina from the roof.

Las piezas que muestra el museo, el edificio entero y la fachada son interesantes y bellos: Es de las pocas construcciones que están bien restauradas : vale la pena conocerlo y descansar la mente del bazar.

I read in someone's review that this museum might not be open on Fridays? Or is it just during a certain prayer time? Does anyone have any info on that?
Written December 1, 2016
Hi Emma
Friday mornng most (but not all) shops and restaurants within the Medina are closed - Muslim holy day. But in the afternoon many re-open. I didn't try to visit the museum on a Friday. If possible go on another day. If not go in the afternoon

Hello
Can you tell me about the big metal scales? Were they used in old times by the merchants or have they been installed recently?
Written November 24, 2016
As far as I recall the big metal scales at the Nejjarine Musuem were used by merchants in earlier times. They have not been newly installed.
