Moroccan jewish museum and archive
The Moroccan Jewish Museum, or El Mellah Museum, is a Jewish museum in Casablanca, Morocco. Established in 1997, it is the only museum devoted to Judaism in the Arab world. The museum was renovated in 2013.
Moroccan Jews constitute an ancient community. Before the founding of Israel in 1948, there were about 250,000 to 350,000 Jews in the country, which gave Morocco the largest Jewish community in the Muslim world, but fewer than 2,500 or so remain today.
It was rededicated by King Mohammed VI of Morocco on December 20, 2016 after it was restored.
