Majorelle Garden
A haven of greenery and color, the Majorelle Garden is a small haven of peace located in the heart of the city of Marrakech. This garden was created in 1931 by the French painter Jacques Majorelle (1886 - 1962) around his surprisingly modern Art Deco workshop, built by the architect Paul Sinoir. Throughout his travels, the artist jaques Majorelle became a gardener to bring back from the four corners of the world, or to exchange with distant correspondents as passionate about botany as him, hundreds of rare varieties of trees and plants. . This Garden is a living work of art which today exhibits plants from five continents. Bamboo, palm trees, cacti, flower pots and aquatic plants are married with great finesse and can only impress visitors. In 1937, the artist created an ultramarine blue that was both intense and clear: Majorelle blue, with which he colored his garden, which he opened to the public in 1947. What was Jacques Majorelle's studio, now houses the Berber Museum which was inaugurated in 2011 under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohamed VI. It presents a panorama of the extraordinary creativity of this people, the oldest in North Africa. From the Rif to the Sahara, more than 600 objects collected by Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent attest to the richness and diversity of a culture that is still alive.
