Mouassine Museum

Located in the Mouassine district of the medina, this museum is housed in a restored traditional residence dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. It functions as a museum of music, where visitors can view exhibits related to musical instruments and traditions while observing the architecture of the historic mansion.

Getting There

The museum is situated within the Marrakech medina. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk through the pedestrian streets of the old city. Depending on your starting point within the medina, the walk typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to explore the musical exhibits and the layout of the traditional house.
