The Dar Jamai Museum occupies a graceful palace built in 1882 by the Jamai family, who served as viziers under Sultan Moulay Hassan, at the northern edge of Place El Hedim in the Meknes medina. Taken over during the French protectorate, it opened as a museum in 1920 and today shows Moroccan arts from Meknes and the wider region: ceramics, woodwork, embroidery, carpets and jewellery, most from the 19th and 20th centuries, with some older pieces from the era of Moulay Ismail. The building is itself an exhibit, decorated with carved and painted cedar, sculpted plaster and colourful zellij, and centred on a courtyard garden with orange trees. Since 2014 it has been dedicated to Morocco's music heritage as a national museum of music.
