"A Hundred-Year-Old Photographic Archive This delightful gallery is housed in one of Marrakech 's elegant Saadian town houses, all creamy white plaster walls and subtle bejmat (unglazed terra-cotta) tiled floors. It's the perfect setting for what began as owner-creators Hamid Mergani and Patrick Manac’h’s private and extensive collection of photographs that document scenes and portraits of Moroccan life over the past century. Today the foundation encompasses a whole lot more, with numerous collectors and photographers such as Daniel Chicault, Ana Muller, and Jean-Pierre Évrard donating or loaning from their own collections. There’s also a terrific little café on the roof for traditional Berber cooking and splendid views of the Atlas Mountains."

A riad that hosts Marrakesh's photography museum. A wonderful collection of photographs documenting the people and places of Morocco and Marrakech. Some of the pictures are over 100 years old, but even those from the 1960's seem to tell a story of a different world. Many of the portraits are stunning to look at and observe, but it's worth reading and understanding some of the history of these pictures. The building is relaxing and not too busy. There is a very nice, relaxed cafe at the top on the terrace which serves various drinks and juices. Recommended for a rest and a change of pace from the souls.

Lovely museum although we took a very circuitous route to find it including being scammed by a local for directions. We were relieved to finally reach the beautiful peaceful space showcasing stunning pictures. The terrace cafe on the roof gave stunning views across the city

Of course, I couldn’t just walk past the House of Photography when we were staying so close, especially while we’re have a hobby as photographers ourselves. So yes, visiting was a must. It’s a small but charming place, with lots of different works displayed on the walls, and upstairs there’s a rooftop terrace where you can relax and unwind after your visit.

a fantastic little museum with Moroccan photographs, excellent history but the building is what i wrote home about. beautiful courtyard and really a lovely rooftop cafe which offered incredible views and great food at an affordable price

A small sanctuary of peace from the souks to relax and see photos of Morocco in the past. You may be surprised at the photos. Lovely rooftop cafe to finish your visit 😊

Beautiful museum showing and telling Moroccan stories by image and text. Texts are also added in English which is a big plus. The roof terrace is really quiet and therefore the perfect place to cool down and get some refreshments. Nice view over the city! The entrance fee is really fair, especially because it also grands you the entrance to the music museum a little further.

Maison de la Photographie was a true gem in Marrakech. The exhibition was beautifully curated, offering a fascinating glimpse into Moroccan history and culture through stunning photography. The building itself is charming, and the rooftop café offers a lovely view over the medina. A peaceful and inspiring stop — highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.

One of the nicest things we did in Marrakesh, especially if you are a photographer or even just want a glimpse of what it was all like over the past 150 years and understand the complexity’s of the indigenous berber/ Amazir communities…Genuinely loved this place and a perfect break from the usual Marrakesh energy… the cafe upstairs is really tasty and has a lovely view… got recommended by a long time Marrakesh head and would recommend as well
