An art centre in the former Italian consulate
Le Real Mogador occupies a historic medina building that once housed the Italian consulate. The venue connects architectural heritage with contemporary creation in a format broader than a conventional commercial gallery.
It hosts Moroccan and international artists through temporary exhibitions and projects developed for the building’s spaces.
Exhibitions, performances and encounters
Programming is not limited to visual art. The centre can host performance, music, writers, actors and public conversations, creating connections between several artistic scenes.
The programme changes according to seasons, residencies and partnerships. Check the current exhibition or event before visiting.
Practical information
Le Real Mogador is located at 2 Rue Mehdi Ben Toumert in Essaouira’s medina. Access and opening times may depend on the project being presented.
