Unmissable Marrakech museums
recommended by
Sue Dobson
The Dar Si Saïd Palace, its walls patterned with mosaics, its tiled courtyards decorated with pink marble fountains, has Berber jewellery and carved daggers, a collection of beautiful carpets and intricate, 500-year old wood carvings displayed under painted ceilings.
From there it’s a short walk to the Maison Tiskiwin, a private museum which displays a fine collection of jewellery, fabrics, carpets and musical instruments in a traditional courtyard house secreted behind a very plain frontage.
As well as carpets, jewellery, ceramics, manuscripts, furniture and textiles, the Museum of Marrakech, housed in the beautifully restored 19th-century Dar M’Nebhi Palace by the Ben Youssef medersa, displays contemporary art in the large courtyard that’s swathed in a domed tent.
