There is also a vast collection of Moroccan art from its early origins to contemporary modern art, allowing you to follow the path of the artistic history of Morocco through paintings, sculptures and objects of different types and styles. Visit Marrakech and embark on a journey into the Arab culture in the beautiful surrounding of the Mehnbi Palace.
The collection belongs to a rich art collector called Omar Benjelloun, an entrepreneur who devoted his entire life to art, collecting and reforming many works, for example the Ben Youssef Medersa, and the Mehnbi Palace which decided to put all the works he owned.
The Mehnbi Palace dates back to the nineteenth century and extends over 1200 square meters. Its structure is typical of Arab palaces with a large open courtyard in the middle of the house. The columns, arches, fountains in the courtyard offers an incredible spectacle, thanks to the attention to detail and the beautiful mosaics still perfectly preserved.
