Turning left into Rue de la Bahia in Marrakech, there’s a small museum inside Maison Tiskiwi displaying Bert Flint private collection of costumes, jewelery, arms, musical instruments, carpets and furniture of the ancient West-Africa caravans.

Bert Flint has lived in Morocco for over 50 years. After dedicating decades of his life to researching the rural culture of Morocco and cultural exchanges between Northern Africa and Sahel states, the Dutchman has donated his valuable collection to the University of Marrakech.

The university intends to use Flint’s private museum, known as “La Maison Tiskiwin”, to create an institute dedicated to researching the cultural heritage of the Sahara and adjacent regions. The official opening of the new “Institut Bert Flint pour le Patrimoine du Nord-Ouest Africain” is planned for June 2007.

It is a charming little museum of art and popular traditions from the Souss valley and the Sahara region. It should be noted that another section of the museum is situated in Avenue Mohamed V, Agadir.
