A wonderful spot, serene and informative. It's quite nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and this is just a lovely museum all round. I love the emboidery, the carpets...all of it!

We went here on our first day and it was a wonderful introduction to the Moroccan way of life. I was totally enchanted by the architecture of the building as well as the collections themselves.

I had no idea what to expect of a museum offering Berber arts, crafts and culture but it was completely engrossing. I loved the cedarwood furniture too and don't just walk by the carved doors, they are exquisite as well.

A totally delightful place, the building itself is lovely, and the collections are great too. I love the Andalusian architecture and all the ornate carvings and details. The pottery was the best bit for me I have to say.

This is like the garden of my dreams, great plants and fantastic colours, the 'majorelle' cobalt blue really makes the heart sing. The small museum is lovely too, but the garden is definitely the highlight.
