Located in the cultural Habous Quarter (Nouvelle Médina), the museum showcases historical instruments, documents, and archives related to the tradition. It serves as a vital center for musicology, helping visitors understand the deep historical and cultural roots of Al-Âla music, which originated in Al-Andalus (Islamic Spain and Portugal) and flourished in Moroccan cities.
