\u201cThis is truly beautiful,\u201d remarked one visitor, who attended with his daughter. \u201cIt\u2019s important for us to know our traditions and those of our ancestors. That\u2019s why I brought my daughter, so she can discover the cultural treasures and artistic legacy our forefathers left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in 1915 within historic pavilions built during the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismail in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the museum underwent a two-year restoration from 2020 to 2022 before reopening in 2023.<\/p>\n
