Berber Museum Jardin Majorelle

The Berber Museum, inaugurated in 2011 under the High Patronage of His Majesty Mohammed VI, King of Morocco, is housed in the former painting studio of the artist Jacques Majorelle. It presents a panorama of the extraordinary creativity of the Berbers (Imazighen), the oldest people in North Africa.

More than 600 objects, collected from the Rif al Sahara mountains by Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent, attest to the richness and diversity of this vibrant culture, which is still very much alive today.

The collection is displayed in four distinct spaces, each dedicated to a particular theme. Before entering the exhibition halls, we are presented with an overview of the history of the Berber people (Imazighen) of Morocco and a map showing the location of the main Berber tribes across the country. Audiovisual elements are used in the museum to enhance visitors' appreciation of Berber culture.
