Museum of Mouassine Music
About This Museum
People come to the Museum of Mouassine Music not just to see history, but to feel it. You wander through a beautifully restored 16th-century house where every carved cedarwood ceiling and intricate tile mosaic tells a story. The real magic is how the exhibits of lutes, drums, and ornate ceremonial clothes make you imagine the sounds and celebrations that once filled these rooms. It’s a quiet, intimate escape from the chaos of the Marrakech medina that leaves you with a deep appreciation for Morocco's living artistic soul.
Collection Highlights
You'll find beautifully crafted lutes and skin-covered drums, plus displays of stunningly detailed traditional clothing and jewelry that were part of musical ceremonies.
