Villa des Arts
Casablanca
Villa des Arts de Casablanca, run by the ONA Foundation, is the city's most serious contemporary art venue. Set in a restored 1934 Art Deco villa near Parc de la Ligue Arabe, it hosts rotating exhibitions of Moroccan and international artists alongside a permanent collection of 20th-century Moroccan masters, with free entry year-round.
What to expect
- Calm gallery rooms across two floors, a small sculpture garden, and rotating exhibitions that typically stay up for two to three months. Allow 45 to 75 minutes.
Best time
- Mid-morning or mid-afternoon on weekdays. Weekends are still usually quiet.
How to combine
- A strong add-on to a downtown walk for visitors who've already seen the main heritage sites and want a quieter, more thoughtful stop.
