Jamaâ el-Fna Intangible Heritage Museum
In Marrakech, on the fabulous Jamaa El Fna square, the first establishment of the State Bank of Morocco was created in 1922. Two architects, Auguste Cadet and Edmond Brion, designed a building that fits perfectly into the architecture of the place. The Jamaa El Fna intangible heritage museum is part of a restoration and rehabilitation strategy led by the National Museum Foundation.
The former headquarters of Bank Al-Maghrib has reopened as the first museum in Morocco dedicated to the region's intangible heritage. Its main mission is to retrace the history of the town square, to highlight the art of the halqa, and to raise public awareness of the original interest in this common heritage in order to preserve it and transmit it to future generations. .
