Jardin Majorelle: Who Are We?
FROM 29 JULY 2024 TO 2 FEBRUARY 2025
The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech (mYSLm) is delighted to announce the opening of the exhibition Jardin Majorelle: Who Are We?, which will be on view starting July 29, 2024 in the temporary exhibition hall at the mYSLm. Presented as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of the Jardin Majorelle, the exhibition is curated by Alexis Sornin, director of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech and of the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts; he is assisted by Madison Cox and all the team at the Jardin Majorelle.
A scale model, created especially for the exhibition by Monim Sabyh, presents as a unified whole the public garden and the garden of the Villa Oasis, the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech. The exhibition includes numerous historical documents, photographs and printed works from the archives of the Fondation Jardin Majorelle and its library; unpublished drawings by Yves Saint Laurent, the architect Bill Willis and the garden designer Madison Cox; and vintage photographs and films as well as films with exceptional aerial views made especially for the exhibition. An immersion in the little-known reserves of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech has produced maps and other documents related to the city of Marrakech of yesterday and today, and will allow visitors to discover the history and rapid evolution of this one-of-a-kind, iconic garden.
