The Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca is the only museum dedicated to Jewish heritage in the Arab world. Set in a quiet suburban building, it documents the long history of Morocco's Jewish communities through religious objects, costumes, photographs and reconstructions of synagogue interiors. Displays present Torah scrolls, ceremonial silver, embroidered textiles and everyday artefacts illustrating a distinctive North African tradition. Exhibits also trace the community's contribution to Moroccan society and its dispersal.
