Museum showcasing Moroccan modern art, mostly traveling exhibitions.
The Galerie d'Art Contemporain Mohamed Drissi, formerly the Museum of Contemporary Art or Musée d' Art Contemporain, is a museum in Tangier, Morocco, housed in the building of the former British consulate near the Church of St. Andrew.

After the first Anglican church got too small, the current one was built behind the Sidi Bou Abib mosque. The church is built in Moorish style and the belltower is shaped like a minaret. In the graveyard next to the church rests prominent British figures in the history of the city, including the officers Sir Harry MacLean and Roy Howell with his wife Claire de Menasce, the criminal Paul Lund and writer Walter Burton Harris. There's also a plaque commemorating Emily Keene, who introduced the cholera vaccine to Morocco (her grave is elsewhere).
Built in 1917 and decorated with polychrome tiles, this is the mosque right next to the grand socco.
Grand Socco
A large lively park-like square just southwest of the medina. Next to it there's the Sidi Bou Abib Mosque. Go to the souk on Thursday or Sunday mornings to see the Rif mountain women in their colourful costumes selling their produce and dairy products all along the wall of the St. Andrew's Church (English Church).
The continuation of the grand socco to the west, this garden features a large marble fountain and park benches.
Closed and falling to pieces but take a photo from outside the gates as you pass by on the way up to the Grand Socco.
Musée de la Fondation Lorin
An art museum, or maybe rather an archive related to the history of Tangier opened in 1930 in a former synagogue. In addition to art, there are newspapers, photographs and posters on display.
