  • What a hidden gem in Marrakech! The museum is very interesting if you enjoy photography and would like to see Marrakech throughout the years. The building is also worth the visit on it's own and it has a beautiful, peaceful terrace with an amazing view, where you can enjoy your tea or coffee. Definitely like an oasis in the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Highly recommend 👌
  • Lesser well known and tucked away museum/gallery, with less tourists (one other person when I went towards the end of the day). Beautiful photos of local people and history in a wonderful historic building. Friendly and helpful staff member at reception, felt much more welcoming and more informal than the other tourist-hungry sights.
  • It is a small little museum, containing pictures taken in Morocco from 1880 to early 90s. It was not crowded by the time we visited and we could enjoy and explore all the images showing the life of Moroccans in that period of time. The rooftop terrace they have is nice, with a great view over Medina. You can also enjoy a tee or some food here.
  • You can see many of the old photos hanging on the walls, there is a small cinema room showing a movie about Berbers but the best thing about the museum is a rooftop cafe. You can admire the city while sipping coffee and reading. There is a gift shop downstairs and the museum is centrally located. A must-see in Marrakesh!
  • Absolutely amazing! A museum made with love and care which gives all the needed information about the history of Morocco through amazing photos! Have a very delicious lunch at the café located on the terrace with amazing view!
