In 1980, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berger bought the Majorelle Garden to save it from the hotel complex project, a museum and an exhibition area of YVES SAINT LAURENT with an area of more than 4,000 m2 were built next to it

The building was built according to the project of Studio KO, which was inspired by the duality of curves and straight lines, the alternation of thin lines and clear sections. From the outside, the building looks like a collection of cubes, allegorically dressed in brick lace, with a pattern resembling weft fabrics. The inner part, like the lining of the clothes, is radically different: velvety, smooth and luminous.
The museum is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00, except Wednesday
When buying a ticket only to the Yves Saint Laurent Museum - 130 MAD for adults and 65 MAD for children from 10 to 18 years old. Children under 10 years old can take the course for free.
We recommend visiting the Majorelle Garden and the Pierre Berger Berber Museum at once, in this case it is advantageous to purchase a general ticket for 300 MAD (children from 10 to 18 years old - 150 MAD)
