Musée Municipale du Patrimoine Amazighe

Fodor's choice

Agadir's municipal museum celebrates the Amazigh heritage of the region with collections of photography, jewelry, artifacts, and local handicrafts, as well as temporary exhibits. It's worth a visit to learn about the symbolism seen in Amazigh carpets and jewelry; there's also information about the Igouder (plural of agadir, a communal granary) of the local villages. If you're lucky, an English-speaking intern may be on hand to guide you around.

Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah Ethnological Museum

Medina

The stunning former French colonial town hall holds this smartly arranged collection of items from everyday and ritual life in and around the Essaouira area. Exhibits include items related to the China tea trade, as part of its tea museum. The permanent collection includes musical instruments of both Gnaoua and Sufi sects; displays of regional carpet styles and wood-carving techniques and motifs; and examples of Muslim, Jewish, and rural Ishelhin Amazigh rites and dress.
