Musée Macma
Passage Gandhouri, 61 Rue Yougoslavie, Marrakech 40000
Private museum of Orientalist paintings by European travelers alongside contemporary Moroccan art.
This guide to Musée Macma in Marrakesh follows Nabil El Mallouki, a banker who left the financial world in the late 1990s to start collecting paintings and eventually opened this museum in his own former home. You'll hear about the permanent Orientalism show he built, and about the European painters, Delacroix among them, who traveled to Morocco to paint what they saw. Look for a canvas by Jacques Majorelle, painted here decades before the garden that later made him famous.
