National Museum of Ceramics
About This Museum
People don't just come to Safi for its sea views; many are drawn here, to the National Museum of Ceramics, to understand the soul of a city built on clay. Stepping inside feels like entering a quiet sanctuary dedicated to Morocco's most vibrant art form. You'll wander through rooms that trace a journey from earthy, traditional Berber pots to breathtakingly intricate Zellij mosaics that look like frozen geometry. It’s a surprisingly intimate and captivating look at how functional objects are transformed into masterpieces.
Collection Highlights
The collection dazzles with everything from massive, cobalt-blue amphoras once used for olive oil to delicate, hand-painted tableware. Don't miss the displays on the iconic 'Safi blue' pigment or the stunning examples of calligraphic porcelain.
