MUSÉE NEJJARINE

The Nejjarine Museum in Fez is dedicated to the arts and crafts of wood. The first of its kind in Morocco, it is located in the heart of the medina in Place Nejjarine. It is housed in the Fondouk Nejjarine, a former warehouse of goods and place of trading built in 1711 under the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismaïl by the provost (in Arabic the amine) Adeiyel.
Since 1916 Foundouk Nejjarine is in the list world heritage listed by UNESCO, in 1990 restoration work began under the overall project of the rehabilitation of the old medina of Fez and ended in 1998 to give the only private museum specializing in the arts and crafts of wood in Morocco.
You can access it from Place Rcif, Bab el Guissa or Bab Boujeloud. In the 3 levels of the Nejjarine museum, you will find articles relating to the three main themes of the use of wood in Morocco: domestic wood, architectural wood and liturgical wood.
The terrace of the building is also worth visiting . In addition to its tea room and its panoramic view of the medina, it houses a collection of archaeological objects.
