A calm and quiet museum hidden away and well work looking out for the signiposts. Lovely terrace cafe and an opportunity to try playing instruments and learn about different cultures particularly Amazigh

⁉️ BRIEFLY ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want to learn a bit more about Moroccan and African music heritage this is the place. Nice museum in an old house of an artist, it has some nice decorations and a lovely terrace with a cafe. 💵 40 MAD for the museum ⏰ Lenght of visit 30min-1h

I went to two musical evenings at the Museum of Music (they are only on from October to May I believe) and each one was a wonderful experience of a different type of Morrocan music. I very much liked the story of the discovery and restoration of this beautiful building that once hosted the likes of Led Zeppelin and Che Guevara. The museum itself is very well put together with explanations available in English and French. They also have a rooftop terrace where you can enjoy a drink and even a snack!

We just returned from the musical evening at this museum that is held 3 nights a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) and it was a very lovely way to spend an evening in Marrakech! Before the performance you have a chance to tour the museum (included in the price of your ticket). The small but well curated showcase of African musical instruments and music is highly interesting and educational, and the building itself is magnificently restored. The 40-minute performance is held in a beautiful and intimate salon within the riad, a truly special venue to enjoy such special music (we were treated to Gnawa music on the evening we went mid-April 2024). After the performance everyone is invited to the rooftop terrace for Moroccan tea and cookies - well organized and perfectly timed to enjoy a wonderful sunset view. There is also an option to add on a local dinner which I definitely recommend doing: dinner is likewise served on the rooftop terrace. It is a set menu (no choices but a vegetarian option is offered). The simple but tasty homecooked dinner was a very nice finishing touch. If you enjoy cultural music and are looking for a unique experience in Marrakech away from the touristy crowds, absolutely be sure to put this on your list!

One of our most special experiences in Marrakech! This museum is a must visit. They have a really great collection with history, art, and a lot of instruments. We were lucky to attend a concert in the beautiful upstairs room, and it was incredibly peaceful. They also have a great rooftop where they give you tea and sweets after the concert. The owner was super nice, as was the gentleman at the front desk who let us come back the next day since we came right before closing time the first night. Highly recommend for music lovers!
