Ceramics and Fez Blue Gallery
The most visually striking part of Dar Batha Museum, displaying Moroccan ceramics from the 14th century to the present, many adorned with the cobalt-blue glaze synonymous with Fez.
Wood Carving and Carpentry Gallery
Cedar woodwork ranging from small decorative pieces to full items of furniture and architectural elements salvaged from historic Fez buildings — a testament to the city's enduring craft tradition.
Manuscript and Astrolabe Hall
This hall brings together two of the finest expressions of medieval Islamic knowledge: illuminated manuscript codices, predominantly ancient Qur'ans, and astrolabes of varying sizes. These pieces bear witness to both the spiritual and calligraphic heritage of Fez's civilisation and its profound engagement with astronomy and the measurement of time.
Carpet and Textile Gallery
The carpet and textile gallery at Dar Batha Museum showcases a diverse collection of Berber carpets and traditional Moroccan clothing. Among the textile pieces on display are chilabas and fez hats—also known as tarbush—a garment that originated in this very city and later spread throughout North Africa and even Turkey.
