What’s on
More than just a retrospective showing key pieces from Yves Saint Laurent’ career, the exhibition staged at the YVES SAINT LAURENT Marrakech Museum is a journey to the heart of his inspirations. Fifty models around themes dear to Yves Saint Laurent (‘Masculine-Feminine’, ‘Black’, ‘Africa and Morocco’, ‘Imaginary journeys’, ‘gardens’ and ‘art’) offer an original look at the designer’s work through pieces rarely shown to the public, presented in stark relief in a dark, minimalist setting. The creative process and the world of the designer are shown with the help of sketches, photographs, fashion shows, films, voices and music which complement the models on display. The museum is also presenting the first retrospective dedicated to the work of Jacques Azéma, the French artist who discovered Marrakech in 1931. His paintings, heavily influenced by symbolism, present a very personal view of Morocco.

About the Yves Saint Laurent Museum Marrakech
Near the Majorelle Garden, this building, covering 4,000 square metres and inaugurated in 2017, was created to be a true cultural centre. It houses an exhibition room with a permanent display showing 40 years of creation from the Yves Saint Laurent couture house, a temporary exhibitions room, a photography gallery, an auditorium, a research library, a bookshop and a cafe-restaurant. An underground area dedicated to the collections provides the best conditions for preserving works of art.
