Villa Des Arts

Overview

Casablanca's Villa des Arts is part of the ONA Foundation, which is one of Morocco's primary cultural foundations. Set in a gorgeous Art Deco building which was built in 1934 and a fine example of Art Deco architecture, on Boulevard Brahim Roudani, Villa des Arts is a venue for contemporary art that promotes Moroccan culture and heritage. It is also the only Moroccan contemporary art museum in the city of Casablanca. While here visitors will come across exhibitions of contemporary Moroccan art as well as international works of art featuring a variety of abstract works along with stunning paintings of local people and peasants and more.

Prayer Facilities

While finding prayer facilities at Villa des Arts may not be possible, the city of Casablanca is a Muslim city, which means that Muslim visitor will definitely be able to find prayer facilities throughout. Muslims visiting the museum can therefore either offer their prayer outdoors, or they can ask staff to direct them to the nearest mosque. Also, a trip to Casablanca is not complete without offering a prayer at the Hassan II Mosque; the second largest mosque in the world.

Halal Food

It is not known if Villa des Arts houses cafés or restaurants. Finding a dining establishment in the city will however not be difficult at all. Since Casablanca is a Muslim city, almost all restaurants in the city are sure to be Halal. Visitors to the museum are advised to ask museum staff to guide them to the best Halal restaurant nearby.
