Dar Jamai Museum

I didn't expect how emotional this museum would be, but I shouldn't have been surprised. My father was a musician all his life, the qanun being his greatest passion (though his love for his children and family was equally as limitless). It's been months since he passed, and I continue to come across new places he would have loved to see renovated and open to the public. It brings so much joy to see my city embrace it's musical heritage more closely, and the traditional music scene really come a long way since my father first began to play almost half a decade ago.

Great museum in the central square of Meknes. A wonderful place to escape the noise and hustle of the square. Beautiful garden and an interesting presentation of history - various traditional costumes, instruments, and an interactive section. A bonus is the architecture, which is in a typical Moroccan style. Definitely worth a visit!

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

Fantastic museum in an amazing palace just near central square in Meknes medina. Interesting instruments and historical info. Highly recommended.

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 🖤

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.

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 ♥️
