Marrakech Museum

Housed in the 19th-century Dar Menebhi Palace, this museum is worth visiting as much for the building as for its collections. The central courtyard is the showstopper — a vast open space crowned by a dramatic hanging chandelier, with intricately carved stucco walls, zellige tilework, and painted cedar ceilings surrounding you on all sides. The rotating exhibitions cover traditional and contemporary Moroccan art, Berber artifacts, and historical manuscripts. It sits right next to the Ben Youssef Madrasa, so pair the two for a morning of the medina's finest interiors. The quiet atmosphere is a welcome contrast to the chaos outside.
