Museum of music mouassine

Not very big but interesting. In addition to the musical instruments specific to Africa, you can admire some very beautifully decorated rooms in traditional Moroccan style. Besides, there is also a cafe with a terrace on the roof, with a pretty nice view.

Attended one of the evening concerts here which run on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays. It’s recommended that you book a seat in advance which was free to do so. We got a 45 minute performance. 100MAD gets you entrance to the museum, the concert & a mint tea afterwards. If you pay for entrance, your ticket entitles you to free entrance to the sister establishment, the photography museum. The museum has a hands on room where you can play on some of the instruments.

Fantastic museum created by Patrick Manac'h. They restored old building with great attention to details. I was amazed by quality of the restoration. They have on display great range of instruments, recordings, paintings, artefacts showing different perspectives on Moroccan music over the centuries. I participated in the concert of Al-Andalus music with great introduction from Patrick, who is also creator of the nearby Museum of Photography Marrakech. Really recommend, search for the evening concerts.

Hidden gem for any music enthusiast! Exhibits are not allowed to be touched, but there's a room with traditional instruments where you can play as much as you want!! Also there's some art, and the house in general is very beautiful. BONUS TIP: a ticket bought here will get you to the photography museum for free!

I don't often write recommendations, but I feel like I have to after this magical experience. We went in through an alley, and was honestly a little in doubt if we were going to the right spot. Then at the entrance we are met by a Podranea Ricasoliana (had to look the plants name up), falling like rain, almost covering the side of the building. Then we walk through the museum, getting exciting history of African instruments and seeing them, and being followed by the beautiful Podranea ricasoliana, all the way up to the terrace, where we sit under a canopy of it, and drink mint tea. We had just come from the busy Place Jemaa el Fna, and stepping into the museum was like a sanctuary of silence and calm. There were almost no one else on a Saturday afternoon. Honestly one of the most magical experiences in Marrakech.

Same ticket with museum of photography. Worth to visit. Interesting instruments and lots of history. Little bit hard to find but I recommend.

I went to two musical evenings at the Museum of Music (they are only on from October to May I believe) and each one was a wonderful experience of a different type of Morrocan music. I very much liked the story of the discovery and restoration of this beautiful building that once hosted the likes of Led Zeppelin and Che Guevara. The museum itself is very well put together with explanations available in English and French. They also have a rooftop terrace where you can enjoy a drink and even a snack!

One of our most special experiences in Marrakech! This museum is a must visit. They have a really great collection with history, art, and a lot of instruments. We were lucky to attend a concert in the beautiful upstairs room, and it was incredibly peaceful. They also have a great rooftop where they give you tea and sweets after the concert. The owner was super nice, as was the gentleman at the front desk who let us come back the next day since we came right before closing time the first night. Highly recommend for music lovers!
