Casablanca Museums


Morocco - Essaouira - Fez - Marrakech - Agadir
With a heritage that stems from prehistoric times, the city of Casablanca is steeped in a checkered history that has witnessed cultural and even racial flux. Casablanca is the one city that has recorded and preserved all of it with pride in the Casablanca Museums. These places though termed as 'museums' are actually a show-and-tell history book, an art gallery and also a treasure house all rolled into one; and display the remnants of the Roman, Berber and Arab civilizations. These museums are open on all days except on Tuesdays and are functional approximately between 8:30am and 6:30 pm.

A single large influence among all the artifacts in most of the Museums in Casablanca is that if the Arabic and especially Islamic flavor in them. Works of art on display like paintings and sculpture bear a strong Islamic streak. In this respect, the "Museum of Moroccan Judaism" in Casablanca is a lot different from the others. One of the most prominent museums not just in Casablanca but also throughout Morocco, the Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca records the heritage of the Jewish minority in the city. so during your trip to Casablanca, a tour of the Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca will be well worth your visit.
