Abderrahman Slaoui Foundation Museum
Art Deco villa displaying vintage Orientalist travel posters alongside Moroccan gold and silver jewelry.
This guide to the Abderrahman Slaoui Foundation Museum in Casablanca opens on a wall of glossy travel posters made to lure French visitors to an exotic, sun-struck Morocco, disposable advertising once pasted up in train stations and torn down within a season. It follows the Casablanca businessman who spent decades hunting them down, work commissioned from painters including Jacques Majorelle, and traces the years after his death in two thousand one before his house of paper became a public museum. You'll also climb through Berber silver, coral and amber, and gold jewelry spanning the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
