The Tiskiwin Museum is a private ethnographic museum in the Riad Zitoune Lakdim quarter of the Marrakesh medina, housing the lifework collection of the Dutch ethnographer Bert Flint. Flint (1931–2022), who arrived in Morocco in 1957 and remained for the rest of his life, assembled the collection across more than five decades of fieldwork along the trans-Saharan corridor between the Atlas Mountains and the Niger bend.
The museum's distinctive curatorial premise organises the collection along the historical caravan route from Marrakesh through the Drâa, the Tafilalt, the Mauritanian Adrar, the Saharan crossings, and on to Timbuktu. Each room represents a stage of the route, with the material culture (textiles, jewellery, leatherwork, weapons, instruments) of each section presented alongside the geographical and historical context that situated it within the broader trans-Saharan exchange. The curatorial approach reads the desert as corridor rather than barrier — the same reading developed in the broader academic literature on Saharan trade and now in the dedicated Tamazgha trade-routes visualisation.
Flint donated the collection in stages from the late 1990s onwards to the Moroccan state and to Marrakesh institutions; the museum opened in its present form in 1995 and remained under his personal direction until his retirement in the 2010s. The seventeenth-century Saadian house in which the museum is installed — the Maison Tiskiwin, named after a Tachelhit toponym for the surrounding garden — is itself a substantial architectural artefact of the medina.
The collection is one of the principal complementary resources to the Berber Museum at Jardin Majorelle for visitors interested in Amazigh material culture in Marrakesh. The two museums are typically presented together as the "Berber museum circuit" of central Marrakesh, with the Dar Si Said Museum (Moroccan crafts) as a third stop on the route.
