The Dar Jamai Museum occupies a late 19th-century palace on the north side of Place el-Hedim, the main square between the medina and the Imperial City. The building itself is the main attraction — a fine example of Moroccan domestic architecture with carved plasterwork, painted cedar ceilings, and a fragrant Andalusian garden. The collection focuses on traditional Moroccan crafts: carved woodwork, embroidered textiles, painted ceramics, and examples of the musical instruments used in traditional Meknes music.
The museum is one of the better regional museums in Morocco. The garden on the upper level is a pleasant place to sit and recover from the intensity of the surrounding souks.
