Nejjarine Museum

My visit to the Nejjarine Museum in Fes was truly impressive! The building itself is a masterpiece beautifully restored with traditional woodwork and elegant details that reflect the rich Moroccan craftsmanship. Inside, the collection of wooden artifacts, tools, and art pieces is fascinating and offers a real glimpse into the history of traditional woodworking. The rooftop terrace was one of my favorite parts, offering peaceful views over the old medina. The museum is well-organized, clean, and calm, making it a perfect escape from the busy streets outside. Definitely a must-see for anyone interested in culture, history, and Moroccan artisanal heritage

Great museum! For the price of only 20 MAD you get: 1) super informative exhibition 2) great rooftop view with 360 degree view. The museum covers a lot of the history of Fes, specifically about the use of wood for art, architecture and various daily needs. Never seen as much attention to wood in Morocco and after this museum I saw Fes wooden details from the new perspective 10/10

The museum is really big, with three floors to explore and a rooftop café. Each floor offers something interesting, and you can truly see the history of Fes. especially the use of wood, from everyday household items to armory and weapons. It highlights the city’s craftsmanship and daily life through time. The rooftop is a great bonus, where you can relax and enjoy views of the city buildings around. Somehow worth a visit.

The museum has several floors historical wooden artifacts of all descriptions from children's toys to musical instruments Quranic verses on ancient wood, cabinets, doors, etc. Photos of these objects are not permitted so the photos here are up the building itself which is quite beautiful and has a tea garden on the rooftop which is really worth visiting for its character and also for the rooftop views. Entry is just MAD 20. Closing time is 5:00 p.m. There are identifying plates next to each object in Arabic, French and English. But the experience could be greatly enhanced by short videos on how the wood was worked or more detailed explanatory materials.

Very important and cool museum. If you want to understand the historical craftsmanship of the Moroccan people, then this is the beat start. Great location aswell, easy to find. The place is stunning and deserves a visit. The entry fee is only 20 dh which is affordable. The exhibition in itself is well enough. Nothing to staggering about the artefacts. The architecture of the building is though, amazing.

Beautiful museum showing off old tools and beautiful art. Only €2 entry.

A museum that is worth visiting. You can pay for the ticket at the entrance (20DH). Can't take pictures in the exhibitions but the information was very interesting and amazed by some of the craft works. It has a tea room and a lovely terrace which you can overlook part of the old town from it.
