Photo guide
Photographing Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art: light, spots and crowds.
Checked October 14, 2026 against the sources listed here. Hours, access and rules change, so recheck the official source before you go.
- Best light
- The main entrance front, with its two tiers of white arches and lattice panels, faces south-southeast onto Avenue Moulay Hassan, so it is in direct sun from morning into the afternoon, while the west side along Avenue Allal Ben Abdellah takes the late-afternoon sun. Wikipedia notes that the double arches cast shadows that change with the light and the seasons, so a lower sun from the side shows the relief better than a midday sun from straight on.
- Crowds
- It is closed on Tuesdays, and its temporary exhibitions change through the year.
- Entry
- Ticketed, with separate rates for Moroccan and foreign visitors, and closed on Tuesdays. The street fronts are always visible from public sidewalks; check current hours, tickets and exhibitions on the Fondation Nationale des Musées site.
Where to stand
- Corner of Avenue Moulay Hassan and Avenue Allal Ben Abdellah
The museum sits on this corner, so from across the junction you can take in both street fronts and the corner pavilion in one frame.
- Entrance forecourt on Avenue Moulay Hassan
Square on to the main entrance, the two tiers of white arches and lattice panels repeat across the front, which suits a centered, symmetrical frame.
- Central patio (museum ticket required)
Inside, the two sight lines that start at the entrances cross at a patio atrium with nickel-silver columns. There is no published photo policy, so ask staff before photographing in the galleries.
Photo rules
- Filming at Fondation Nationale des Musées museums needs authorization; the foundation asks for requests three weeks before the planned shoot.

Does an Experience include admission or a photo session?
