Al-Azm Palace is an Ottoman-style palace in Damascus, Syria, built in 1749 as the private residence of As'ad Pasha al-Azm, governor of Damascus. Located north of Al-Buzuriyah Souq in the Ancient City, it later housed the French Institute during the French Mandate. After the Syrian government purchased the buildings from the Al-Azm family and carried out extensive reconstruction, it became the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions.
