TheWkly Analysis

Morocco awarded the first “Musée du Maroc” quality label to five museums during an official ceremony at the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rabat. The National Foundation of Museums (NFM, Morocco's public institution overseeing museums) announced the distinction granted to institutions meeting standards set by a dedicated accreditation committee. The recipients include the Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts and Crafts in Fez, the Bank Al Maghrib Museum in Rabat, and three in Marrakech: the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, and the Pierre Bergé Museum of Amazigh Arts. The label is valid for four years and can be renewed, certifying compliance with standards for preservation, management, and promotion of museum heritage collections. This initiative is part of Morocco’s legal framework under Law 56.20 and Law 55.20 regulating the NFM. Foundation president Mehdi Qotbi spoke at the event.
