The museum of photography is a cultural venue in Marrakech.
Housed in an old fondouk in the medina, the House of Photography is a journey through time.
It was established by Patrick Manac’h and Hamid Mergani as a place where old photos taken in Morocco could be displayed for the public to view.
It opened its doors in 2009 and has thousands of original documents, photographs, postcards, and photographic glass plates.
A private collection of 10,000 exhibits from the beginnings of photography, 1879-1960, and the present offer visitors a way to get to know the history of the Berber tribes in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
