Lonely Planet review

Set in a beautiful villa surrounded by lush gardens, this is Casablanca's only museum and the only Jewish museum in the Islamic world. It demonstrates the history of the once-thriving Jewish community and its influence on modern Moroccan society.

The exhibits include historic artefacts such as documents, traditional clothing and ceremonial items and a vast collection of photographs featuring synagogues, mellah (Jewish Quarters) and other landmarks that remain from the 2000 years of Jewish civilisation in the region. The Museum is in the suburb of Oasis, a 15-minute taxi ride from the city centre.
