Set in a stunning 17th century riad at the heart of Marrakech's old city and at just a stone's throw from Jemaa El Fna square, the Heritage Museum (Musée du Patrimoine) has undergone a six-year renovation. The Heritage Museum showcases a family's lifelong collection of unique Moroccan artifacts, ranging from pottery to tribal jewellery, Moroccan Jewish heritage as well as Andalusian embroidery. A true "labour of love", the museum comprises of six display rooms and four display halls, laid out on two floors with a rooftop terrace.

Strangely perhaps, Marrakech is not ober-endowed with great or even good museums. So stumbling across this little gem was uplifting and a real pleasure. Once a private house/Riad it's now a fascinating collection of artefacts from across Moroccan history. If you can find it, go there!!

Scientific museum, contemporary and interactive interpretation center, place of education and training, the Mohammed VI Museum for Water Civilization in Morocco Aman, wants to be the largest museum dealing with the theme of water in Africa. The museum's mission is served by a real framework of museographic resources: scenographies, objects, models, maps, photos, handwritten documents, audio-visual multimedia supports, etc. This museum aims to be an attractive and innovative place for the general public, it was created in homage to the Moroccan genius in water management, to the historical role of the Habous in the water management and in homage to the contemporary work of the late His Majesty King Hassan II and His Majesty King Mohammed VI in the politics and hydraulic achievements of the kingdom.

The objects displayed in the Palace belonging to the King are of interest but the architecture of the palace and the decoration combined with the garden are the focus of the museum and worth the viewing. Dar El Bacha which has other locations fits in with the global collection of pieces offering coffees from around the world. I enjoyed a Cuban brew. But everything is done with great style. The fruit plate was a sculptured piece de resistance. The pot of coffee makes its contents more delectable. Staff uniforms only add to the ambience.
5. The Orientalist Museum of Marrakech

The Orientalist Museum of Marrakech has been created recently by the same owner as the Macma Museum in Gueliz. That new place in the Medina offers a wide view on the cultural history in Morocco through an exclusive collection of Orientalist paintings (from Delacroix to Majorelle), and precious antique artpieces of moroccan artcrafters. The building is a typical Saadian Riad from the end of 17th century. From the terrace, the visitor can admire an exclusive panorama of the city and the Atlas Mountains.

A nice calm escape within the Medina. Displays a selection on good and great art in a beautiful setting. The rooftop terrace is lovely for photos and bird watching too! We also enjoyed a lovely freshly mixed juice will on the terrace!
