Museo Nejjarine, Fes

Amazing to see but loses a star for the hustlers. Do your research on how much to pay before buying anything! It's also highly recommended to go as part of a tour so you don't get hassled to smitherines.

Very well maintained museum about wood and craft

A very nice and historical place 👍👍👍

Formerly an inn it is now is a museum. Funduq al-Najjarin ( 'Inn of the carpenters') is a historic funduq (acaravanserai or traditional inn). The funduq is situated in the heart of the medina, at Al-Najjarin Square which is also notable for the Nejjarine Fountain, an attachedsaqayya or traditional public fountain. The building was designed for use by the merchants, traders, and visitors to the city of Fez and provided a storage place. It is a prominent example of Moroccan riad architecture. Today it houses a private museum. The name alNajjarin means "carpenters", a reference to the historic presence of a carpenters' souq (market) around the square in front of the funduq today. The funduq was commissioned by the amin (provost or magistrate) 'Adiyil in 1711. The various structures and the public square form an integrated whole in the local community. The building was originally used as a trading center, caravanserai (inn), and merchant warehouse associated closely with the Makhzen (the government or royal authorities). It likely continued to serve this function up until the beginning of the 20th century.  Another funduq Funduq Sagha (Arabic:فندق الصاغة‎, lit. 'inn of the goldsmiths') in northern Fes el-Bali, also exhibits a very similar architecture and decorative style. The building was restored and reopened as a private museum for wood arts and crafts known as Le Musée Nejjarine des Arts et Métiers du Bois in 1998.

good place to visit
