About this audio guide
This guide to Comptoir des Mines Galerie in Marrakesh starts at a golden monogram set into the entrance floor, a leftover from the 1932 trading company that once ran mining equipment out of this art-deco building. You'll hear how the offices sat abandoned for decades after the mining business moved on, and about the gallerist who eventually noticed the building and began restoring it. The guide also follows the contemporary Moroccan and African artists now showing inside its rooms, including a gallery devoted to Hassan Hajjaj.
