His museum is called " dar tiskiwin" one a of a kind museum with jewelry, tewtiles, leather, pottery..... from all over morocco but also from the sahara and the sahel, a museum that stresses on the solid ties between morocco and saharan and subsaharan african on the artifact level.
The collection is private but i think it was donated by bert to marrakech university, a very noble move.

His studies and his collection are outstanding.
We visit him and his collection during the Marrakech tours.
