The only Jewish museum in the Arab world, the Museum of Moroccan Judaism was founded in 1997 by the late Simon Lévy, a renowned Moroccan intellectual and researcher. The building that houses it is the former Murdock Bengio Children's Home, an orphanage built in 1948 by Célia Bengio in memory of her husband and dedicated to protecting disadvantaged Jewish children.
Located in a shaded villa in the Oasis district, south of Casablanca, it is a haven of tranquility and knowledge amidst the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Managed by the Foundation for Judeo-Moroccan Cultural Heritage, the institution has maintained the sober yet fertile spirit of its founder, a fervent defender of preserving Judeo-Moroccan memory, cultural diversity and interfaith dialogue.
Spread over an area of 600m2, the museum is divided into two distinct spaces. Namely, a space reserved for temporary exhibitions and a second space (consisting of 3 rooms) dedicated to the permanent exhibition.
The latter highlights the plurality of synagogue interiors throughout the Kingdom, as well as the authenticity and richness of Moroccan Judaica. Judeo-Amazigh jewelry, ceremonial garments or Sephardic festive costumes, everyday accessories, ritual objects, religious books, Elijah's chair…it is 3000 years of History that unfold before visitors' eyes. A Casablanca stopover not to be missed, solo, with family or friends.

The museum is open to the public in winter Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM. In summer, Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM.
