Our building
In the medina, with its rammed earth (pisé) walls, its streets and alleys, you are invited to lose yourself and to push open the doors of dwellings hidden behind high walls.
â
Once you have entered those of the Moroccan culinary museum, you will find yourself in a refuge that will make you forget the sound and heat of the outside world.
â
This 18th century palace, which belonged to a Marrakesh notable, covers 5000 m2 and has two interior courtyards or patios (one of which is more than 700 m2), paved with zellige (enameled terracotta mosaic tiles) that ornate decorative friezes and columns.
â
The center of the first courtyard is embellished with a Carrara marble fountain framed by four olive trees and two sumptuous salons with ceilings more than sixteen feet high.
â
This palace was renovated with top quality workmanship without changing its character, and preserving its profusion of zellige, sculpted plaster and cedar wood hand-painted in the zouaké style.

The museum is open from 9 am to 8 pm, seven days a week.
