In this article, signed by Graham Cornwell, a historian specializing in the Middle East and North Africa, the newspaper notes that Rabat has benefited from the dynamism of investments made in this area in recent years in the Kingdom.
In this context, the specialist from George Washington University explains that Morocco has invested in its museum infrastructure, rehabilitating historic buildings and repurposing them to display new collections throughout the country.
In this architectural panorama of the Moroccan capital, the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art stands out as a rare jewel. This building was the spearhead of this "national" dynamic in favour of museums, he specifies.
The Washington Post also cites the Bank al-Maghrib museum, "housed in an architectural masterpiece that integrates Moroccan aesthetic flourishes with modern European design."
Added to this mosaic is the National Museum of Photography, located in the picturesque L'Océan neighbourhood, the newspaper adds, noting that this space has just hosted an exhibition of "innovative" photographers from across Africa.
In this article, illustrated with beautiful photos of facets of the cultural and social life of the capital, the author also invites readers to enjoy the tranquillity that reigns in the alleyways of the Medina of Rabat.
