Street in Tangier

Artists such as Matisse and Tiffany were inspired by the Moroccan city of Tangier, as were writers William Burroughs and Paul Bowles, among others, who expatriated to Tangier and made it their home. Today, Tangier is home to a unique art museum, the Tangier American Legation Museum, which is housed in a building that served as the American Legation to Morocco from 1821 to 1956. It has a special room dedicated to Paul Bowles.
