Musée de l'Histoire et des Civilisations

Part of the Mohammed V University complex, this museum presents Moroccan history and civilization in a broad sweep from prehistoric times through the modern era, with well-organized thematic galleries. It's particularly strong on the Islamic medieval period and the various dynasties that shaped Morocco. Less visited than the Archaeological Museum but complementary to it, offering more narrative context. The university setting gives it an academic atmosphere that serious history travelers will appreciate.
