Fodor's Expert Review Ethnographic Museum

Tetouan Specialty Museum

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Created in 1928, the Ethnographic Museum was moved to its current home in 1948; the building is the former fortress of the sultan Moulay Abderrahman, built around 1830 and surrounded by an Andalusian garden. The museum has a wonderful collection of traditional Moroccan costumes, jewelry, embroidery, weapons, musical instruments, and other handcrafted objects. The most elaborate displays are of the accoutrements of Tetouani wedding ceremonies, which are among the most elaborate of Moroccan wedding attires.
