Jardin Majorelle
The garden that defines a neighbourhood
Jardin Majorelle was created by French painter Jacques Majorelle, who began cultivating the garden in 1924. Over the following decades he developed a botanical garden built around palm groves, bamboo forests, water features and cactus collections, unified by the cobalt blue that would come to carry his name — Majorelle Blue.
In 1980, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé acquired the garden and restored it over the following years. The garden covers approximately 9,000 m² and houses the Musée Pierre Bergé des Arts Berbères within its grounds. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent stands immediately nearby, in a separate building.

Cultural landmark
Musée Yves Saint Laurent
The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech stands immediately next to Jardin Majorelle, in a separate building. It was inaugurated in October 2017.
Designed by Studio KO, the museum's architecture is a conversation between contemporary form and Moroccan craft: terracotta volumes, geometric screen patterns inspired by moucharabieh latticework, and a quiet interior that pulls you inward from the moment you cross the threshold.
The museum presents a selection from the exceptional collection of the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, which holds more than 5,000 haute couture garments along with thousands of accessories, sketches and archives.
