Default Museum of Moroccan Judaism


The Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca records the cultural history of a race and community of Morocco who have been a significant presence in the country even though their numbers have been relatively marginal. Located in the Rue chasseur Jules Gros in Casablanca, the Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca has been an establishment of its kind. The Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca serves not just as a protector of the Moroccan Jewish cultural heritage and history, but it also doubles up as a museum of ethnography.

Set up in the year 1997 by the Jewish community of the city of Casablanca, the Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca houses international Jewish relics along with indigenous Moroccan ones. The Museum of Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca was established by the Foundation of Jewish-Moroccan Cultural Heritage. The museum is open on all days of the week and operates from 10:00am to 06:00pm; on Sundays though, visitors require a special permission or appointment. Spread out in a floor area of 700 Sq Meters, the exhibits on display are an amalgam of religious, historical, traditional and ethnographical relics. Artistic artifacts are also seen to be brushing shoulders alongside them. Some of these articles include, oil lamps, Chanukah lamps, Torahs, Torah covers, traditional clothing, paintings, sculptures and photographs.
