Our original intention had been to visit the Ben Youssef Madrasa but it was closed on a Monday. Very close by is the Marrakech Museum so that became the alternative and it did not disappoint. Firstly having walked from from Jemaa el-Fnaa through the seemingly chaotic souks and medina being indoors in a beautiful peaceful building was a welcome relief.
The museum has some beautiful features, a lot relating to the building itself., especially the glass covered courtyard. This contains a very large centrally hung chandelier ceiling piece consisting of metal plates decorated with fine geometric and epigraphic cuttings. It really is unusual and quite beautiful.
There is a mixture of exhibits from pottery to photographs and it is a great place to spend an hour or two.
Marrakech, Morocco, in the old medina. The light was perfect, so we stayed for awhile. I shot this with a Tamron 17-50 @17mm
