Lorin Foundation Museum
About This Museum
It’s not every day you find a museum that has served as both a house of worship and a cinematic set for the Rolling Stones. The Lorin Foundation Museum is one of Tangier's best-kept secrets, tucked away on a quiet street in the old medina. Stepping inside feels like uncovering layers of the city's soul, where sacred history and vibrant contemporary culture share the same walls. It’s a deeply personal and atmospheric journey through time.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is its series of massive, vividly colored paintings by Jacques Lorin that depict Tangier's bustling port life and cultural crossroads. These are complemented by fascinating historical photographs and artifacts that tell the story of the city's diverse Jewish and Muslim communities, creating a rich, visual narrative.
Visitor Information
You'll find it at 44 Rue Touahine—just follow the narrow alleyways up from the Petit Socco. It's a small place, so you won't need more than an hour, but it's an hour wonderfully spent away from the main tourist trail.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautifully restored 20th-century synagogue, the building features stark white walls, elegant arched windows, and a sense of serene simplicity that allows both the art and the spiritual history of the space to resonate.
