As already with our other ways by the Medina I was really glad that our navigation system on the cell phone functioned well.

We scraped together the last of our money (we had searched in vain for an ATM on the way) and were able to experience one of the most impressive photo exhibitions I have seen so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/marakesch-maison-photografie-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Maison de la Photographie de Marrakech\" class=\"wp-image-18659\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you see at the Maison de la Photographie de Marrakech?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamid Mergani and Patrick Manac&#8217;h opened the Maison de la Photographie de Marrakech in a renovated riad in 2009. Here, they want to show Morocco from a completely different side. To this end, they design exhibitions with specific thematic focuses and organize traveling exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 10,000 exhibits have now been accumulated, also due to numerous donations. These photographs, glass plates, films, postcards, newspapers, maps and documentation show in an impressive way the diversity of Morocco from 1879-1960.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/marakesch-bilder-fotomuseum-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Fotos in Marakesch\" class=\"wp-image-18660\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can not only learn about Morocco and Moroccan culture in the exhibition, there are also exhibits that deal with the history of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A small tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I even look at the first exhibits, I am already completely thrilled the first time we step into the small courtyard of the riad. This is how I had imagined a riad. The courtyard is bright and friendly, there are small rooms around the courtyard and a staircase leads to the galleries on the upper floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/marakesch-fotoausstellung-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Fotoausstellung in Marakesch\" class=\"wp-image-18661\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Only when I have &#8220;had my fill&#8221; of the architecture do I start looking at the exhibits. Many photos look as if they have just been taken in the medina. I spot street scenes, merchants, and tanners, just as I often did on our walking tours. After I have seen then the admission dates of the pictures I had to determine that in some areas in Marrakech the time apparently stopped. Traditions are still lived today and also proudly presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are images that really inspire me, especially the portraits that show faces that can tell whole stories. Especially the black and white shots fascinate me again and again. I find that the structures often come into their own much better here than in color photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/marakesch-riad-fotomuseum-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Maison de la Photographie de Marrakech\" class=\"wp-image-18662\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the upper floor, a documentary film is running in one room. I stop for a while and look at the impressive landscapes that are shown. Mentally I plan what I would like to see of Morocco absolutely still, so impress me the pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong><br>Who is in the Maison de la Photographie de Marrakech should not miss it to go to the roof terrace of the house.
