Renaissance of Rabat's museums, a historical jewel on the edge of the Atlantic (Washington Post)

In this article signed by Graham Cornwell, a historian specializing in the Middle East and North Africa, the newspaper indicates that Rabat has benefited from the investment dynamic triggered in this area over the last few years in the Kingdom. In this context, the specialist, from George Washington University, notes that Morocco has made investments in its museum infrastructure, rehabilitating historical buildings to reuse them to showcase new collections across the country. In this architectural panorama of the capital of Morocco, the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art stands out as a rare jewel, he indicates. This building was the spearhead of this "national" dynamic in favor of museums. The inauguration of this institution in 2014 attracted contemporary Moroccan and international artists and gave rise to exhibitions "ranging from postcolonial Moroccan art to the works of expatriate Cuban painters." The "Washington Post" also cites the Bank Al-Maghrib Museum, "housed in an architectural masterpiece, a building that integrates Moroccan aesthetic flourishes into modern European design." This museum tells millennia of Moroccan history through old coins and some of the best Moroccan paintings of the past century, notes the author of the article.

To this mosaic is added the National Museum of Photography, located in the picturesque L'Océan district, adds the daily, recalling that this space has just hosted an exhibition of "innovative" photographers from all over Africa. Among the works that are the pride of the capital, the publication also cites the Mohammed VI Tower, the tallest in Africa, the Grand Theatre of Rabat, and the historical site of Chellah. In this article embellished with beautiful photos illustrating facets of the cultural and social life of the capital, the author also invites visitors to appreciate the tranquility that reigns in the alleys of the Medina of Rabat.
