点评:Less than a five minute stroll from the Ben Youssef Medersa is this wonderful photography exhibition.
It’s been open since 2009 and was established by Parisian Patrick Menac'h and Hamid Mergani from Marrakech itself. They both realised that they had individually been collecting vintage Moroccan photography and as a result opened this gallery in order to show people their collections. Their primary aim was to show the extraordinary diversity of Morocco, as seen by those, anonymous or famous, who visit it from the beginnings of photography until the modern period : 1860 – 1960.
Whilst parts of this three storey exhibition change every 6-12 months, the ground floor courtyard with rooms fanning off it are devoted to portraiture. Everyday life is dominant in the photos on display here.
On the rooftop terrace you will find a cafe where we decided to purchase our first Moroccan food outside of the Riad. The cafe is at one of the highest points in the Medina and so affords some fantastic views alongside a cosy and comfortable area to sit and just take a breath.

展览自 2009 年开放以来,一直由巴黎人帕特里克·梅纳赫 (Patrick Menac'h) 和马拉喀什本地人哈米德·梅尔加尼 (Hamid Mergani) 共同创办。他们各自都收藏了一些摩洛哥老照片,因此决定开设这家画廊,向人们展示他们的藏品。他们的主要目的是展现摩洛哥非凡的多样性,从摄影术诞生之初到现代时期(1860-1960 年),记录了无数到访摩洛哥的人们——无论名流还是平民——的影像。
这座三层楼的展览每 6-12 个月会更换部分展品,而底层庭院及其周围环绕的展厅则专门用于展示人像作品。这里展出的照片以日常生活为主题。
在屋顶露台上,有一家咖啡馆,我们决定在那里品尝我们在里亚德 (Riad) 之外的第一顿摩洛哥美食。这家咖啡馆位于麦地那的最高点之一,因此可以欣赏到绝佳的景色,同时还设有一个舒适温馨的休息区,供人坐下来放松身心。
