Truly Enchanting!
The Franco-Moroccan couple, Abdeljalil and Marie Michèle Haffar, created this magical Art Museum in 2019. It is a permanent exhibition with more than 2500 exhibits from more than 90 countries from five continents of the world. You can find this delightful display in a traditional house in the Rabat Medina. It is decorated with ornate grills, beautiful zellig tiles, classy woodwork and moorish arches. You can see folk dolls, souvenir dolls, regional dolls and dolls depicting different professions. Each doll is made of different material but all of them have cloth attires. The passion of the founders is clearly evident. A true gem of a museum for all ages.

What a Jewel we found in the Medina of Rabat
On our first day in Rabat we were walking in the Medina and saw posters and direction signs to Poupees...Always curious we headed to the direction and were greeted by the daughter of the proprietors. Spent about an hour viewing the massive collection. Well worth the precious time.
