    Rating low only because Maps stated they were open on Sunday - but they aren't. And they've moved location so the address is wrong. It took a long time to find the new location only to find it was closed. I do hope to visit someday when it's open.

    very unpleasant experience for girls, especially young ones. There is an old man, a creep working there making girls uncomfortable by touching their hands… highly not recommended.

    It's a small art gallery mostly focused on work from local/domestic artists. As the taste in art is very individual, I'm not commenting on the exhibition itself (that being said I've found several pieces I really liked) but I'd rather point out the extraordinary building and attached garden that are a quiet, beautiful oasis in pulsing metropolis.

    I went on a week day, it was very quiet clean. No one disturbed me walkin on the building or taking photos. The art also was interesting most of it from new talents

    Unfortunately there aren't many museums and art galleries that I could find open in Casablanca except for this one but it was worth the walk there and free admission. The paintings being featured from the artist Mustapha Hafid were amazing, the technique so unique, a must see. Me faves here...

    Great little art gallery tucked off from one of the main roads in Casablanca. A beautiful haven away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. A great place to look at art and relax. I highly recommend

    It was really entertaining to visit the villa. We went there for a field trip, and all the students loved it. The tour guide was friendly and kind. I also loved the workshop . Would totally recommend to go with your family and friends

    Beautiful white building with private garden (and resting) area. FREE ENTRY. About 5 (or more) rooms with held art pieces. Good place to get away from sun (and walking), can sit on lounges. Didn't seem to be an obvious toilet though. A good place to spend a relaxing 15 minutes.

    First of all, entry is free. This is a very quite and relaxing environment. You can truly come and marvel at the artwork in peace. The architecture of the building is art in its own right. Classic construction with marble tiles and high ceilings makes for a great canvas to display art. The largest part of the collection seems like a school project, but some of it is quite nice. The section by Louis Morere is what caught our attention. The longer you spend with it, the more appreciation you have for it. Come with time to spare. The museum is quite small, but the tranquil environment keeps you there for quite some time.

    The museum is temporarily closed until at least February 7th 2023. Be sure to call the museum before you go to make sure it has reopened, to avoid wasting time.

  • 5/5 Robin B. 2 years ago on Google
    A small but lovely center featuring changing exhibitions, which welcomes visitors at no charge. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and provided us with a complimentary catalogue of the current exhibition's artist's work. Villa des Arts is a must-visit for arts and culture enthusiasts in Casablanca. As the space is small, you'll likely need less than 30 minutes for your visit, so plan to pair it with lunch or brunch at one of the many lovely restaurants in the adjacent Gauthier neighborhood.

    An old man that works there makes girls very uncomfortable by touching their hands and faces without their consent, be careful and stay safe girls especially if you're alone.

    Now I know why the website is not working. Closed until August according to the security guard. At least he allowed me to go in the courtyard to take a photo. :) But, I walked a long ways for this.

    Walked quite a while to go see this art museum but when we got there it was closed for a “fiesta”. It didn’t say anything on the website about being closed. The guard let us walk around the gardens but they weren’t that big.

    Beautiful welcoming place, well-maintained and operates smoothly, the guards are friendly and professional. After my first visit i was excited to show the place to a friend,we went there on the 10th December to find everything was replaced with uninteresting african art only, hopefully Louis Morere corner that never changes saved the day Thank you Villa Des Arts

    (Translated by Google) Perfect exhibition space! The exposure of the first floor is regularly updated. The exhibition on the second floor is static, but not less interesting. allows you to make a small trip in time)) the place itself is interesting for its guests. Villa Desert invites musicians of different genres. These small concerts take place in a very warm atmosphere and allow you to relax and recharge your cheerfulness! (Original) Прекрасное выставочное пространство! Регулярно происходит обновление экспозиции первого этажа. Выставка на втором этаже статична, но не менее интересна, т.к. позволяет совершить небольшое путешествие во времени)) само место интересно своими гостями. Вилла Дезарт приглашает музыкантов самых разных жанров. Эти маленькие концерты проходят в очень тёплой атмосфере и дают возможность расслабиться и зарядиться бодростью!
