Gallery sights in Morocco

  1. A

    Fès Art Gallery

    The management can be somewhat snooty, but the furniture and objets d'art are worth a look. There are exquisite inlaid chairs, tables and cupboards from Syria, some reasonable paintings and ceramics, and good jewellery. From the roof terrace the view over the Kairaouine is excellent.

    Galerie Photo 127

    Like any worthwhile Chelsea gallery, this one is up a dim, once-grand staircase and in an industrial-chic chamber with the obligatory exposed brick-and-concrete wall. Shows vary from straightforward travel photography to more interpretive works, mostly by Mediterranean artists.

  3. C

    Orientalist Art Gallery

    This small commercial gallery is the best place to view the work of contemporary Fez-based artists. The only other option in town is the art gallery in the Délégation de la Culture on Ave Moulay Youssef, close to the Pl de la Résistance, which hosts occasional exhibitions.
