A museum worth the hours · Marrakech, Morocco
The private collection of Dutch anthropologist Bert Flint, who came to Marrakech in 1957 and opened his restored riad at 8 Rue de la Bahia to the public in the 1980s. The rooms are laid out as ten stages of the old caravan route from Marrakech to Timbuktu, each holding the carpets, jewellery, tools, weapons and dress of the region it stands for, with a full nomad tent pitched inside. The subject is Amazigh and Tuareg material culture rather than Moroccan court art, which is what separates it from the city's other folklore museums. It shuts across the middle of the day, from 12.30pm to 2.30pm.
One man's Sahara, room by room — the smallest and strangest museum in the southern medina.
