The Museum of Marrakech
The Museum of Marrakech is located in the Dar Menebhi Palace,
built at the end of the 19th century by legendary Mehdi Menebhi, in
the old centre of Marrakech. The palace was restored by the Omar
Benjelloun Foundation and converted into a museum in 1997. The
house itself is representative of classical Andalusian
architecture, with fountains in the central courtyard, carvings and
beautiful tiles. The museum holds exhibits of both modern and
traditional Moroccan art, as well as historical books, coins and
pottery.

Admission
Language
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
Money
The unit of currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), which is
divided into 100 centimes. ATMs are available in the larger towns,
but can be unreliable; currency can be exchanged at banks or
official bureaux de changes, which are also widespread in major
towns. Dirhams cannot be obtained or exchanged outside Morocco and
receipts must be retained as proof of legal currency exchange, as
well as in order to re-exchange money when departing. Major credit
cards are accepted in the larger shops, hotels and restaurants.
Travellers cheques can be used in tourist areas, but are not
prevalent; they are best taken in Euros or Pounds Stirling.
