Musée Yves Saint Laurent
Description
The Musée Yves Saint Laurent is an art museum in Marrakech showcasing fashion design, sketches, photography, and accessories spanning from the 1950s through the 21st century. The building features modern design with curves and blocks, using traditional Moroccan materials such as clay bricks and stone.
History
The museum was founded in 2017 after the designer spent decades living in Marrakech and drawing inspiration from the city's colors and forms. His private residence and adjoining garden became tourist destinations, prompting the creation of this specialized museum.
Culture
The museum honors a fashion designer who was deeply influenced by Morocco and spent time living in Marrakech. The exhibitions connect his work with local art forms, showing how international fashion interacted with North African traditions.
Practical
The museum sits centrally near other sights and is easily reached on foot while walking through the city. Tickets must be purchased online in advance to secure your visit and avoid long waits.
Did you know?
The building is clad in an innovative pattern of Moroccan clay bricks that resembles lace, giving the design a distinctly local quality. This careful craftsmanship makes the museum itself a noteworthy architectural work.
