Small museum and exhibition space dedicated to Moroccan women. Two floors for museum and one floor for exhibition space. There is a nice rooftop cafe also

Museum spread over three floors where you can learn about trailblazing women who have contributed to many aspects of Moroccan society including the construction of the nation. At the time of my visit there was a fabulous exhibition of the artist Hafida Zizi who using a vibrant naive style depicts the daily lives of Moroccan women through her works. There is a small shop where you can buy these and other items like posters from past exhibitions. After my visit, I took in views of the skyline from the rooftop cafe where I enjoyed a selection of briouates and Moroccan mint tea but there is much more on offer from the menu. Special thanks to Ibtissam who provided a warm welcome at the museum's reception desk. I highly recommend a visit.

A small museum spread across three floors with a cafe terrace at the top. I think it's great that this museum exists. It shines a new light on the changing role of women from unpaid domestic work to salaried roles, some gaining senior positions. Interesting fact: It was the Queen of the Almoravid dynasty who in 1062 chose the site and drew up plans for a new city named Marrakesh (Land of God) Whilst it's evident that the role of women is advancing from the lead created by featured contemporary women; it is clear that there is a long way to go before Moroccan women have the same opportunities and rights as their Western counterparts.

Definitely worth a visit! A rather small museum but filled with inspiring stories of Moroccan women and interesting artefacts. The price is fair and the view from the rooftop is pretty, maybe one of the best in the city.

Fascinating museum that gives an interesting insight into the role of women in Moroccan society. It challenges preconceived notions and is packed with art, artefacts and stories to engage the visitor. They have a temporary exhibition which is outstanding, lively and uplifting. The young women that run the museum add to the experience with their humerous and enthusiastic approach to their job. There's also an excellent little rooftop café that has a limited but excellent choice of food at extremely reasonable prices.
