The Best Way to Travel Through Northern Morocco Is by Train — Here's How to Plan Your Trip
"I spent a slow early afternoon at Museum Dar Jamai, enjoying the history of Moroccan music presented within the handsome walls of a 19th-century palace — an easy, unhurried way to experience Meknes’s quieter cultural side." - Elle Benson Easton
A lovely museum offering great insights to the musical history and traditions.
Beautifully designed in an older style private mansion the gardens are beautiful and the artworks are displayed so each piece can be explained.
Located next to the main market square there are plenty of experiences to explore during the visit. Enjoy

First time visiting the Traditional Music Museum Dar Jamai in Meknes even though I was born and raised here! Sometimes we forget to explore the beauty in our own hometown. The architecture, the instruments, the history… everything was so beautiful and inspiring. Proud of my city 🖤

I shamefully admit that the exhibition of Moroccan musical instruments wasn’t entirely my thing, but worth seeing just for the beautiful building. Entry tickets are Dhs 30 and they have clean toilets.

This was one of the best heritage museums I've been to in my years of travelling. I loved how interactive the displays were and it showed the true essence of Moroccan culture.
They had audio plug-ins you could listen too and the displays were available in English as well. It was peaceful but at the same time a delight to the senses as the halls were filled with Berber music in the background and chirping birds in the garden.
The whole museum was very clean and the staff were polite and helpful. This was the highlight of my visit in Meknes. Thank you team ♥️

One of the best cultural museums you’ll go to. Amazingly beautiful historic building, visual and audio exhibits, and lovely garden in the centre. There are so many descriptions about instruments from all o er Morocco and the many different groups of people that make up the diverse population. Only 30 dirhams to enter!

National Museum of Music: a really amazing museum teaching about local music, using all kinds of media. Instrument exhibitions, sound samples, many videos. Overall a really amazing and immersive experience! The building itself is also really beautiful. I spent 1 1/2 hours there. Entry for tourists is 30 MAD.

Museum of Moroccon music and instruments right in the centre of Meknes. Visually attractive displays covering the whole spectrum of musical genres from traditional to present. It is housed in a beautiful building with a nice garden, which is a haven of tranquillity in the bustling medina.

Google description is out of date. This is now a museum of music. It is fantastic all the same. Just not a collection of textiles anymore. The building is beautiful too, as is the small but well tended garden. Well worth a visit.
