Marrakesh’s museum scene is thriving once again, after the September 2023 earthquake caused the temporary closure of the city’s museums. While there are numerous museums in the city, these four standout destinations offer immersive cultural deep-dives. The Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (MACAAL) dazzles with bold works from across the continent, celebrating Africa’s modern creative pulse. Foodies can cook, taste, and learn at the Moroccan Culinary Arts Museum, where Morocco’s culinary legacy comes alive in a former palace. The Musée du Parfum enchants with botanical beauty, guiding visitors through Morocco’s aromatic traditions and perfume-making rituals. Meanwhile, the Musée Berbère inside Jardin Majorelle spotlights Amazigh heritage through vibrant textiles and treasures collected by Pierre Bergé. Other notable museums include the innovative Meydene, fashion-forward Musée Yves Saint Laurent, enlightening Water Museum, and the exquisite Dar El Bacha Museum—each worth a spot on your itinerary.
