Zusammenfassung:This study examines the intertwined politics surrounding art and modernisation in Morocco from 1912 to the present by considering the structure of the museum not only as a modern institution but also as a national monument to modernity, asking what happens when museum monuments start to crumble. In an analysis of museum history, exhibition policy, the lack of national museum space for modern art, and postmodern exhibit spaces in Morocco, this book focuses on the role that art plays in the social fabric of a modernising Morocco.
