Museum was pretty good I like the outside statues better than I like the inside art. There were a few notable pieces there but mostly local work but not bad quality. I don't know how much it costs to get into the museum because my admission was free but I did enjoy the sculptures which I will post a few picture of. The museum was worth a 45-minute visit.

A must-visit for art lovers living in or visiting Morocco. COVID prevention protocals were strictly followed (a rarity in our observations in Morocco) including vaccine pass required for entry, temperature checks, and enforced mask-wearing. Multi-lingual staff made us feel very welcome and deepened our engagement with the works of art on display. Omar who greeted us at the welcome desk was especially helpful in preparing us for what we'd see in the temporary exhibitions, and helped us learn more about the permanent collection. On the occasion of our visit in January 2022 there were three exhibitions on display, all quite different from each other, but with many being photography-based (which we loved) from the collaborator artists Gérard Rancinan and Caroline Gaudriault; Henri Cartier-Bresson; and an assortment of African-based artists. The permanent collection of modern and contemporary Moroccan artists' work was in the process of being reinstalled, however the staff invited us to look through several beautifully-produced books featuring the collection so we'd have a better understanding of what to look forward to on a future visit. We'll be following the Museum's Instagram page (museemohammed6) to stay tuned for the next exhibitions; we're excited to return!

Interesting permanent exhibitions in particular. We were here for about an hour and a half enjoying the paintings in particular — allow a bit more time if you speak the local languages.

I love this museum. The permanent collection is a real “best of” Moroccan Modern art, and the temp exhibitions always super interesting. A must-visit.
-
It is a welcomed intro to Moroccan modern art. The entry fee is so low, anyone can go multiple times. It is just amazing that for once, art is accessible in a nice space. The art choices are not clear. Some artists are represented through multiples works and some are sadly missing.
