Opened in 2014, the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMVI) in Rabat is Morocco’s first major museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art. It houses a vast collection of works by over 200 Moroccan artists, including Hassan Hajjaj and Ahmed Yacoubi, tracing the evolution of the country’s artistic landscape from the 20th century to today. As the first public museum in Morocco to meet international museography standards, it serves as both a cultural landmark and an educational hub. Its architecture blends Arab-Moorish elements with contemporary design, featuring a striking façade and thoughtfully illuminated exhibition spaces that enhance the experience of Moroccan visual arts.

Amazing place, the art really speaks to you. Very organized and clean, and every corner of the place has a story to tell. Highly recommend it. 10/10

A nice and relatively small art museum that has a few items on display. The displays are scattered across two floors, and change every now and then. The place is quite organized with signs on how and where to move. One can buy entrance tickets at the counter, but make sure you have cash on you. Once you exit, there is a small cafeteria to buy snacks and drinks. Expect to spend around an hour here.

Nice exhibition and beautiful architecture. Unfortunately I paid 60 Dirham instead of the 35 that were described on the internet, after I got asked if I'm a "tourist". Keep that in mind when you are visiting. Nevertheless the museum is really great, especially the current cuban exhibition!! It would be still worth the price if you had to pay 100 Dirham.

Decent museum, we visited when barely half of the exposition rooms were in use, so we were in and out very quickly. The art was a mix between great and bleh. Most employees were cold and uninterested. But overall nothing horrible to say.

If art interests you, this should totally be on your bucket list when visiting Rabat, my favorite museum of all time it hits different every time, it’s well organized and the staff will always be there to help you in case you need assistance. You can get a free ticket if you are a student which is great ☺️
