The Jewish Museum of Casablanca, is the city’s only museum and the only Jewish museum in a Muslim country anywhere in the world. Situated 5km from the centre on Rue Chasseur Jules Gros 81, the museum is open Monday to Friday 11am to 5pm; there is an admission charge of 30dh. The museum represents an important information centre on the Moroccan Jewish community’s heritage. There are 5000 Jewish people living in Morocco and 60% of them are in Casablanca. According to the director of the museum, Morocco is the only country in the Arabic world where Jewish and Muslims have reached an understanding and it is the aim of the museum to consolidate it and make it grow. The museum displays photos of synagogues, old sacred sites, reconstructions of synagogues’ interiors, parchments, traditional costumes and sacred objects as well as silver jewellery. Jewish Moroccans are in fact expert silversmiths, still today in the city’s mellah (the Jewish quarter) one can find the stalls selling silver jewellery.
