Donkey Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a sloping, sun-bleached street in the Kasbah, the Donkey Museum is the kind of wonderfully oddball institution that makes Tangier so unforgettable. It’s less a formal gallery and more of a heartfelt tribute, celebrating the humble donkey's indispensable role in Moroccan life and culture. You'll find everything from vintage saddles and painted bridles to historical photographs and folk art, all telling the story of this steadfast companion. The experience is quirky, surprisingly moving, and offers a genuine slice of local charm you won't find anywhere else.
Collection Highlights
The museum's soul is its eclectic mix: intricate Berber saddles draped over life-sized donkey models, walls covered in black-and-white photos of working animals, and vibrant paintings where donkeys are the undisputed heroes.
Visitor Information
It's easy to miss the entrance, so keep an eye out for the sign at 49 Rue de la Kasbah. With a near-perfect rating from visitors, it's clearly a hit, but do check for opening times as they can be informal.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a traditional Moroccan building with thick, whitewashed walls and a simple blue door that feels more like a local home than a museum.
