Rabat Archaeology Museum

Located right at the centre of Rabat, the Archaeology museum of Rabat has on display extraordinary exhibits from the excavations of Banassa, Thameside, Volubilis and other such incredible sites with rich remains of history.You can experience a journey through time in the museum with its collections from the prehistoric period, Paleolithic period and Neolithic period.

One of the biggest crowd pullers is the sculptures from the Pre-roman and Roman civilisations. The iconic Hellenistic-style Bronze sculptures are a delight to watch while the others, such as the Drunken Monkey, Volubilis Dog, Young Man Crowned with Ivy are iconic to watch. The Hellenistic style art prevalent among the local Berber population is a sight one cannot find elsewhere.  Built in 1932, it was again renovated to accommodate more archaeological artefacts in 1958 under the expertise of Jean Boube, who was, at the time, the regional inspector of Antiquities. It has been a site under the National Museum Collection since 1986.
