The Dar Si Said Museum, officially the Museum of Moroccan Arts, is Marrakech’s oldest museum and holds the largest collection of artworks in the city. Like Marrakech’s other palaces, it was originally a private residence, in this case belonging to Si Said, brother of the grand vizier Bou Ahmed, and its most striking decoration is concentrated around the courtyard entrance and the upper floor. This macro study was shot for the museum’s inauguration of a new exhibition, focused entirely on the textiles and carpets on display, working close enough to isolate individual weaving patterns, color transitions and knot textures that would be lost in a wider gallery shot.
