Marrakech: the national weaving and carpet museum will soon reopen its doors

Located in the centre of the old medina of Marrakech, the Dar Si Said National Weaving and Carpet Museum will have to be restored following the damage caused by the earthquake. The National Museums Foundation is working on the project, which will cost over 10.15 million dirhams.

"The waterproofing of the monument has completely deteriorated, putting the entire museum at risk from rain and water infiltration. The damage to the architectural elements was less extensive, but there was some damage to the plasterwork, ceiling woodwork and zelliges" - press release.
