Dar Si Said Museum

This guide to the Dar Si Said Museum in Marrakesh centers on a stone ablutions tub carved in Muslim Spain around the year 1008, centuries older than the nineteenth-century vizier's residence built around it. You'll meet Said ben Moussa, the lesser-known brother of the powerful Grand Vizier Ahmed ben Moussa, and hear how his house came to hold a five-meter cedar door carved for a Saadian sultan's tomb complex. Listen for how two objects from very different eras end up sharing one room.
