An Exhibition in Tangier Pays Tribute to Design World Darling Charles Sevigny | Vogue

"First American public property acquired outside the United States, this historic Legation in the heart of Tangier’s ancient medina marked Charles Sevigny’s centennial with an appropriately stylish exhibition designed by artist Lawrence Mynott and curated with Thomas Gunther, who also wrote the accompanying catalogue, on view through September 8th. Gifted to the United States by Sultan Moulay Sulemin in 1821 and home to the legation and consulate for 140 years, it is now a delightful showcase for portraits, works of art, and iconography tied to the city’s history and to prominent American residents such as Paul Bowles and Marguerite McBey." - Hamish Bowles

This Legation was formed in the 1777s when USA just became a country and was recognized by Morocco. This place displayed many of the friendship materials over the ages. If you are an American, this place is worth a visit.

A very nice surprise in Tangier. It shows the connection between the USA and Morocco, and the space is beautiful. Great hidden gem. The price is 50 MAD (about €5) for non-locals, and you can get the tickets on the spot. Only cash is accepted.

It was the unexpected highlight of my Tangier visit. Wonderful building and amazing history. Important Note: Entry Ticket is 50 Moroccan Dirham (about 5 euros) but they only accept Cash in dirhams. No euros or dollars. Morocco was the first country to recognize the fledgling US in 1777. The US signed its first ever international trade treaty with Morocco in 1786. The building was gift to the fledgling United States from the Sultan of Morocco in 1821, and the Tangier American Legation was a diplomatic mission and home for over 140 years, until 1957. The building is still owned by the U.S. Department of State and is America's oldest diplomatic property globally. It is the only U.S. National Landmark located overseas.

Fascinating! Great to see and read about the history between Morocco and the US. A living example of countries with completely different cultures respecting each other’s values. I love the way it is exactly as it was with furniture, newspapers, radios and music to match the time in history or an event. A must see when visiting Tangier!

It’s a great place to come. Cost is 50dirram. Not bad place to learn some local/American history. You can do the entire place within 30mins.
