The Nejjarine Museum of wooden arts and crafts sits in the center of Medina called Nejjarine Square.

It showcases various objects, tools, restored arches, and artifacts of woodcarving. The museum has restored intricate wood carvings on its walls, columns, and inner courtyard. Besides this, the building itself is a story of art and heritage. This is why it is declared as a world heritage site by UNESCO and since then it has been attracting tourists from across the world.
It is a unique experience and opportunity to view stunning pieces of wooden art and crafts, including the architecture and interior of the building as well as to witness modern-day carpenters outside the museum creating their wooden masterpieces. It showcases the journey through displaying domestic, architectural, and liturgical wooden artifacts from the 14th century till today.
