Go read about the lion that was given as a gift to the American delegation from the sultan. Well worth the trip.

A fascinating museum! Both I and the Moroccan friends I was with really enjoyed it. It is a very beautiful place and there is a lot of history to see and experience. Be sure to find the models of two wars in Moroccan history! The detailed depictions are just incredible.

Simple but interesting museum detailing the history of American relations with Morocco. One can easily spend ~1hour here. Entrance costs 20MAD.

20 MAD (~$2 USD) on Jan 2018. Cute, a couple fun facts, and a small bit of history. Pretty small. Amazing details in the architecture. If you have time to kill, worth the 20 MAD.

A beautiful building with a unique history. Friendly staff and an eclectic collection. They hold free events that should not be missed. Definitely a must-visit in Tangier.

Wonderful museum with original letters and much history on Moroccan / American relations. Very beautifully maintained, I would have loved to be able to step back in time, their time.

An amazing slice of history, and an essential on any visit to Morocco. America's first ever Embassy is a reminder that Muslim Morocco was the first country to recognise the independence of the United States.

This is an incredible and quite unexpected place in the Medina of Tangier, Morocco.

The inside of its buildings can only be described a museum of utmost interest, from paintings, beautiful furniture, rare carpets, books, silver and memorabilia related to the United States of America and its two centuries of friendship with the Kingdom of Morocco.

Of particular interest to me is the colonial architecture, large and small salons, and works of art found scattered everywhere.

The huge dining room is what I imagine would be found in any grand house, and the inner courtyards are an oasis of tranquility in a hectic world outside its walls.

There is a fascinating section, The Paul Bowles Wing, located on the ground level in three rooms. Originally it was one room established by Tangier resident Gloria Kirby and was later expanded by Jerry Loftus, a former director of TALIM.

The Paul Bowles Wing has been recently renovated and displays on the walls and in cabinets many items of interest to this cultural and literary icon and long-time resident of Tangier and Morocco.

Bowles was a famous writer and also a composer, and because of his writings many people first heard of Morocco and were inspired to visit, or hope to visit, this wonderful country. He also translated some of the literary works by the Moroccan writer Mohamed Choukri and others.

Great museum about the history of American-Moroccan relations in Tangier. Everything is in English and very interesting. (Clean bathrooms inside as well).

Very interesting history. For anyone who enjoys reading a little and learning facts about American history this is a great place. It is well laid out. $2.00 to get in. I recommend accessing it from the Portugal road.

The Legation is unreliable and in a dangerous area. It does not always open on the listed days; for instance, they were randomly closed on the Tuesday we tried to visit. I would definitely call ahead if you want to avoid a lot of wasted time walking through the medina. Touts surround the place as well, very persistent and grabby. One followed my elderly father and I for 15 minutes and almost assaulted him.

Beautiful museum still owned by the United States. It sits in the middle of an old neighborhood, and embraces traditional Moroccan style. They have very many artifacts and various pieces that were used throughout the years inside of it.

I also believe that the documents showing that Morocco was the first country to officially recognize "The Americans" as a country is in here as well.
