Le MAP Marrakech - Monde des Arts de la Parure
About This Museum
Tucked away in the ancient Ksibat Nhass quarter, Le MAP isn't your typical museum; it's a quiet, almost reverent celebration of adornment itself. It feels less like a gallery and more like a beautifully curated treasure chest, where light seems to linger on the intricate details of each piece. The entire space hums with the stories of craftsmanship and personal identity told through objects meant to be worn. You leave not just having seen art, but feeling like you understand a more intimate layer of Moroccan culture.
Collection Highlights
Look for the breathtaking Berber fibulae, large metal brooches that are both exquisite jewelry and practical garment fasteners. The collection of antique Amazigh (Berber) silver necklaces, with their intricate engravings and symbolic motifs, tells a powerful story of identity and status. Don't miss the delicate enamel work on vintage kohl containers or the surprising artistry found in ornate belt buckles and perfume flasks.
Visitor Information
It's a wonderfully manageable size, perfect for a one or two-hour visit that feels substantial without being overwhelming. The atmosphere is cool and calm—a true sanctuary from the buzz of the Medina. It’s the kind of place where you can linger without being rushed, discovering small wonders in every corner.
Architecture & Building
Housed within a restored traditional Marrakchi riad, the museum wraps around a serene central courtyard with a classic fountain. Whitewashed walls and clean, modern display cases create a minimalist backdrop that lets the historic jewelry truly shine.
