Inside the Museum at the Kasbah of Chefchaoen
The tower at the kasbah in Chefchaoen wasn’t the only interesting structure here in the park. It was the most convenient for me since it was nearer. At the far end of the kasbah, there is another structure which now serves as a museum. The museum is a simple one which depicts how traditional Islamic art is made. There is a video on display here which talks about this but it was in French and I couldn’t understand it. The inside of the museum eventually opens up in the central area where there is a fountain like structure. There was no water here but you can surely imagine there to have been one.
Islamic Art at the Museum at the Kasbah of Chefchaoen
The other rooms showcase some methods of creating these Islamic art. I admit that I find these art very attractive. It is like there some elegance to them given that they use simple geometric shapes to create beautiful art. There is also calligraphy on display here but in stone form. I was very impressed in how these were carved out given how complex Arabic calligraphy can be. The museum itself wasn’t too interesting though. There were practically only two rooms to explore. The second floor of the museum was off limits to there wasn’t much to see here. I would have wanted to stay here just to keep dry but there was nowhere to sit.
