The Musée de Marrakech occupies the Dar Menebhi, a late nineteenth-century palace built for a defence minister of the sultan, in the medina near the Ben Youssef complex. Its centrepiece is a vast covered courtyard crowned by an enormous brass chandelier, surrounded by rooms with carved plaster, painted ceilings and a former hammam. Restored and opened in 1997 by a Moroccan foundation, it displays Moroccan and Orientalist art, ceramics, jewellery and calligraphy. The palace architecture is as much an attraction as the collections.
