Cinema Museum, Ouarzazate, Drâa-Tafilalet, Morocco
The Cinema Museum is located at the opposite side of Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate, on the eastern side of Morocco. The museum is a display of works of art that have been included in the manufacture of some historical films made here. The museum impresses its visitors with the large statues and decorations especially Pharaonic, made of plaster and wood.
The museum also contains huge halls, the most important one used in the scene of King Solomon. The museum has a large collection of photographic equipment, some of which was made of coal and old clothes alongside the spears and shields made of leather, iron, and gypsum.
Most of the movies filmed here were during the 1990s, most of them about Jesus and the Prophet Yusuf peace be upon them. Although the place might not considered scientifically a museum. But it is a special place to safeguard the city memory in the production of historical films.
