Casablanca’s museum map is changing quickly. Two important additions opened in 2026, expanding a scene that already covered Moroccan Jewish heritage, private art collections and Andalusian music.
That makes older museum roundups particularly easy to outgrow. The venues below are current, distinctive and worth choosing for different reasons, from the city’s own urban memory to photography, decorative art and religious-cultural history.
Villa Carl Ficke – Musée de la Mémoire de Casablanca
The Musée de la Mémoire de Casablanca gives the city a dedicated place to examine its own history and identity. It occupies the restored early-20th-century Villa Carl Ficke, so the architecture and the museum’s subject reinforce each other before you even reach a temporary exhibition.
This is one of the most relevant new stops for anyone trying to understand modern Casablanca rather than only its headline landmarks. Check the current exhibition program and remember that the museum is closed on Tuesdays.

Musée de la Photographie et des Arts Visuels de Casablanca
Opened in June 2026, the Museum of Photography and Visual Arts adds a major contemporary cultural address inside the old medina. The Tadao Ando-designed building creates a deliberate dialogue between modern architecture, photography and the dense historic neighborhood around it.
Photography fans should treat it as a priority, but the building also rewards visitors interested in architecture and urban renewal. Pair the museum with La Sqala and the old medina rather than making a separate cross-city trip.

Museum of Moroccan Judaism
The Museum of Moroccan Judaism explores a part of the country’s history that is often missed on a short visit. Ritual objects, photographs, clothing and community material help explain Morocco’s Jewish heritage and its place within the broader national story.
Because the museum is outside the central sightseeing core, plan it deliberately and confirm opening hours before leaving. Give the displays time; the value here comes from context rather than a quick visual circuit.

Abderrahman Slaoui Foundation Museum
The Abderrahman Slaoui Foundation Museum grew from a private collection and feels correspondingly personal. Vintage posters, decorative arts, jewelry and paintings offer a compact route through Moroccan visual culture and collecting tastes.
It is one of the easiest museums to combine with a downtown day because of its central position. Allow enough time for the poster and decorative-art sections, which are often the pieces that distinguish it most clearly from a conventional fine-art museum.

Dar Al Ala
Dar Al Ala is devoted to Andalusian music and preserves instruments, documents and traditions connected with this deeply rooted Moroccan art form. Its smaller scale makes the visit more specialized than the city’s broader museums.
Choose it if music history interests you or if you are already exploring Habous. Confirm access before arrival, then pair it with the neighborhood’s arcades, bookshops, pastry shops and olive market for a richer cultural route.
