A must-visit for art lovers living in or visiting Morocco. COVID prevention protocals were strictly followed (a rarity in our observations in Morocco) including vaccine pass required for entry, temperature checks, and enforced mask-wearing. Multi-lingual staff made us feel very welcome and deepened our engagement with the works of art on display. Omar who greeted us at the welcome desk was especially helpful in preparing us for what we'd see in the temporary exhibitions, and helped us learn more about the permanent collection. On the occasion of our visit in January 2022 there were three exhibitions on display, all quite different from each other, but with many being photography-based (which we loved) from the collaborator artists Gérard Rancinan and Caroline Gaudriault; Henri Cartier-Bresson; and an assortment of African-based artists. The permanent collection of modern and contemporary Moroccan artists' work was in the process of being reinstalled, however the staff invited us to look through several beautifully-produced books featuring the collection so we'd have a better understanding of what to look forward to on a future visit. We'll be following the Museum's Instagram page (museemohammed6) to stay tuned for the next exhibitions; we're excited to return!

I've to almost all National museums, and this is by far the fanciest. The building outide out is beautiful. The decoration is on point, and the logistics, staff, organization ... are top notch. What I missed in the museum is more Moroccan Art. The exhibits had more arab items than Moroccan art. I've seen and learned about Moroccan Plastic art and artists compared to other Art Museums (Villa des arts or Bank Al Maghrib Museum). I hope to see more Moroccan (Arabo, Amazighi art) and of course more Modern artists from the likes of Tetouani or Casaoui Schools (More Gharbaoui, Belkahia, Cherkaoui, Mlihi, Talal ...) I really want to change my mind about this museum. This is why I feel like owe it a second visit.

I visited the Mohammed VI Museum twice and had a fantastic experience both times. The museum is well organized, with excellent air conditioning and a calm atmosphere. The staff were very helpful, enhancing my visit. I particularly enjoyed the coffee shop and bookshop, and the restrooms were impressively clean and unique. Entry is free for students and youth, as well as for Moroccans on Fridays, but foreigners do need to pay. Overall, it's a wonderful place to explore art and culture!

Beautiful museum with enough space so you can take a look at the paintings and artworks. The museum opend in 2014 and shows modern and contemporary mostly Moroccan art. The building incorporates Rabat's identity and urbanism. It is Arab-Moorisch in a modern building. The facade has the 'Keef was darja' motif. The chormatic facades shows pictures/reproductions from Chaibia, Hassan El Glaoui, Mohamed Kacimi, Gharbaoui and Melehi. Inside is a lot of natural light.

A nice and relatively small art museum that has a few items on display. The displays are scattered across two floors, and change every now and then. The place is quite organized with signs on how and where to move. One can buy entrance tickets at the counter, but make sure you have cash on you. Once you exit, there is a small cafeteria to buy snacks and drinks. Expect to spend around an hour here.

Superb experience. I went for the institut du monde arabe de paris exhibition. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The lovely lady at the entrance gave us a learning pack for children for free, which they used afterwards at home to learn about the different paintings. I really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you for bringing us exhibitions from around the world to Rabat. Loved it!
