Batha Museum
Fez, MAplace
About
Housed in a wonderful 19th-century summer palace and converted to a museum in 1915, the Batha Museum houses an excellent collection of traditional Moroccan arts and crafts. Historical and artistic artefacts include fine woodcarving, zellij (mosaic tilework) and tadelakt (sculpted plaster), much of it from the city’s ruined or decaying medersas (schools for studying the Quran). It also has some fine Fassi embroidery, colourful Berber carpets and antique instruments. The highlight of the museum is the superb ceramic collection dating from the 14th century to the present.
