The Orientalist Museum officially opened in February 2018. It offers a closer look at the historical works of foreign artists, who have traveled across Morocco. The museum is set within a restored 17th-century palace and is a good example of the historical architecture of Morocco. The reception hall is painted using vegetable dyes and is well preserved. Orientalist paintings depict “the Middle East”, or the Arab world. The unique paintings on display give a fascinating insight into a historical Western perspective and the painting techniques used are quite inspirational for art enthusiasts. The terrace has a cozy cafe with fantastic views of the rooftops and the Atlas Mountains. The neighboring 17th-century mosque can be easily seen from the viewing platform of the two-tiered terrace.
The Orientalist Museum is brand new to the Marrakech art scene. The artwork displayed offers a closer look at the historical works of non-native artists. Don't forget to admire the architecture of the museum itself which is a beautifully restored 17th-century palace. Browse through the private collections of paintings that shed some light on the history of Morocco. Also, check out the paintings that include vibrant works from Delacroix to Majorelle.
