This museum is an excellent showcase of the types of music played in the different parts of Morocco and the history of the varied instruments. Even if you don’t have a background in music, I think you would enjoy this museum. In a beautifully restored building with a lovely courtyard. When the French were in charge, they used this as a hospital. Explanation cards are in English, Arabic, & French. Highly recommend!

For me going to museums is all about keeping an open mind and even if I pick up a tiny bit of original thought or something I did not know ow the price of admission is worth it. If you are a musician or like music, this is a must. It is focussed on old musical instruments and has videos of traditional and current music of artists in Morocco. Added bonus is the gorgeous building and took lots of photos

One of the best museums, you can spend more than three hours if music is of interest to you. It has music instruments from all over Morocco and samples of music to listen to. Very rich with both. It is also a piece of architectural art since the place is a beautiful palace. By itself makes the trip to Miknas worth it.

National Museum of Music: a really amazing museum teaching about local music, using all kinds of media. Instrument exhibitions, sound samples, many videos. Overall a really amazing and immersive experience! The building itself is also really beautiful. I spent 1 1/2 hours there. Entry for tourists is 30 MAD.

Very picturesque museum featuring Moroccan music and musical culture. If you like to read and learn it will take you about 1.5 hours to go through🤓 If you are a boring person who just likes to look through exhibits quickly and take a few pictures, then about a half hour 😸

C'était positif mais je reste sur ma faim. Le musée ne présente que des éléments musical du Maroc et de Meknès. Alors que notre histoire est riche est complexe. Et la musique n'a jamais été un élément essentiel de notre histoire bien au contraire. Les almoravide et certains almohade avait proscrit l'utilisation d'instrument de musique. Car la musique au Maroc a une dimension spirituel qui s'opposait à l'identité islamique de notre royaume à cette époque. Donc Le musée en lui même est magnifique, propre et riche en éléments musical. Mais on apprend rien de l'histoire du Maroc ou de Meknès.
