The Dar Jamaï palace, built in 1882 in Meknes, Morocco, exemplifies late-nineteenth-century Islamic architecture and now serves as a museum. Constructed by the prominent Jama'i family—who also commissioned the Jamai Palace in Fes—the building houses a collection of artifacts and art objects drawn from Meknes and across Morocco. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation and recognized as part of Morocco's cultural heritage, the palace stands as both an architectural artifact and repository of the region's material culture.
