Moroccan Museum of Money

TIME : 2016/2/16 18:18:43

Housed in the historic Mauresque building of the Bank al-Maghrib, this quirky museum and art gallery is an unexpectedly interesting tour of Moroccan history through its coinage, from the Roman period to today – we especially liked the gloriously colourful notes that introduced the dirham in 1961. Also enjoy the galleries of French Orientalist art (including Marjorelle, of the famed gardens in Marrakesh), and the large collection of Moroccan abstract, naive and figurative painting.
