Villa Harris
Places to visit · Tanger
About this place
Built in 1924 for American journalist Walter Harris, this elegant Art Deco villa overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar. Its clean lines, luminous volumes and Mediterranean garden tell the story of the golden age of international Tangier, when artists, diplomats and adventurers would cross paths in salons facing the sea. The atmosphere remains peaceful, almost intimate, an invitation to discover a little-known page of Tangier's history.
Now transformed into a contemporary art museum, Villa Harris hosts temporary exhibitions and collections by Moroccan and international artists. Visitors wander between rooms with ornate ceilings, linger on the terrace where the view embraces the ocean, and breathe in the shaded gardens. The place appeals to architecture enthusiasts, cultural history buffs and all those seeking an aesthetic refuge in Tangier away from the urban bustle.

I loved this visit! To do if you're passing through Tanger. The museum is done very quickly (in 4 stages) and allows you to have a quick overview of the evolution of Moroccan art. It's especially worth it for the villa itself. 2€ entrance. Surrounded by pretty gardens, free. Only downside: it's very hot!!

J’ai adoré cette visite ! À faire si vous êtes de passage à Tanger. Le musée se fait très rapidement (en 4 étapes) et permet d’avoir un aperçu rapide de l’évolution de l’art marocain. Il vaut surtout le coup pour la villa en elle-même. 2€ l’entrée. Entouré de jolis jardins, gratuits. Seul bémol : il faut très chaud !!
